JERUSALEM, March 30 (Xinhua) -- Ryanair resumed flights to Israel on Sunday, with a flight from Baden-Baden, Germany, landing at Ben Gurion International Airport, marking the return of Europe's largest budget airline to the country.

The Dublin-based carrier is restarting routes from 22 cities across 12 European nations, according to the airline.

Ryanair had intermittently suspended its Israeli operations since the multi-front conflict began on October 7, 2023, and halted all flights last August.

The airline announced its return in late January, citing the Gaza ceasefire and the Israeli parliament's repeal of a law mandating passenger compensation for flight cancellations.

The resumption follows United Airlines' earlier return to Israel this month, making it the first U.S. carrier to do so. Delta Air Lines is scheduled to resume its Israeli flights on Tuesday, while British Airways is set to return on April 5. Enditem
