Wizz Air Pressured to Resume Flights to Tel Aviv

April 28, 2026

Great news for budget travelers planning a trip to Israel! Transport Minister Miri Regev is pushing Wizz Air to resume flights to Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport sooner than planned.

In a recent conversation with the Hungarian low-cost airline’s CEO, Regev recommended accelerating their return to Israel – even if it means starting with just a few flights initially. She emphasized this would demonstrate the airline’s commitment to the Israeli market and help restore vital connections for international visitors.

Wizz Air has been a popular choice for European travelers looking for affordable flights to Israel, so their return would be welcome news for budget-conscious visitors. The airline previously offered competitive fares from major European cities to Tel Aviv.

While we’re still waiting for official dates and routes to be announced, this pressure from Israel’s government suggests flights could resume earlier than expected. Keep an eye on Wizz Air’s website for booking updates, and consider this a positive sign that more affordable flight options to Israel are on the way.
