Wizz Air has announced its early return to Tel Aviv, jetting back into Israel more than a month earlier than planned.
Flights from London Luton will now launch on 22nd August 2025, instead of 15 September.
Flights will then run on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Tickets are already on sale at wizzair.com and via the WIZZ app, with prices starting from just £67.99/169 ILS.
As well as from London, Wizz Air will be flying to Tel Aviv from Budapest, starting as early as 8th August.
The budget airline will also be jetting off from Larnaca, Milan, Rome, Vienna, Bucharest, Iasi, and Sofia, and says it’s ‘putting Israel back on the map for hundreds of thousands of eager travellers’.
‘We’re back — and we’re back with purpose,’ says Olivia Harangozo, Corporate Communications Manager at Wizz Air. ‘Our early return to Tel Aviv demonstrates our commitment to our loyal Israeli passengers and to keeping the world connected.’
With this announcement, Wizz Air is set to be the biggest foreign airline in Israel in terms of capacity, with 31,000 Tel Aviv-bound seats on sale.

Wizz Air’s news comes a day after the European Union’s Aviation Safety Agency lifted a high-risk advisory recommending pilots avoid Israeli airspace due to the risk of war reigniting with Iran.
The advisory covering Israel, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, and Jordan was put in place on June 13.
Yesterday, it was withdrawn, the EASA said.
Meanwhile, a separate advisory for Iran was issued, telling pilots to avoid flying over the country for fear of being mistaken as an enemy aircraft.
It said: ‘Iran is likely to maintain elevated alert levels for its air force and air defense units nationwide, particularly in light of the potential for further ad hoc military actions from their adversaries.
‘Consequently, the risk of miscalculation and/or misidentification remains high over FIR Tehran.’
