Blue Bird Airways resumes flights to Israel after ceasefire

Greece's Blue Bird Airways has become the first foreign airline to resume flights to Israel following the recent ceasefire agreement.

The Operative Information Center-OMM reports that international flight operations had been previously suspended following the closure of Israel's airspace due to regional instability. However, with the partial stabilization of the situation, the airline has decided to reinstate its scheduled services to the country.

The resumption of flights by Blue Bird Airways marks a significant step toward the normalization of international air travel in the region. Aviation experts suggest that the move may encourage other international carriers to evaluate safety protocols and consider returning to the Israeli market. During the period of airspace closure, many global airlines redirected their routes or canceled flights entirely, leading to a significant reduction in connectivity between Israel and major European hubs.
