Ryanair says it may not return to Israel

Published September 11, 2025

Ryanair may not return to Israel when violence related to the Gaza war recedes, Group Chief Executive Michael O’Leary has said, saying the airline was being “messed around” by airport authorities there, Reuters reports.

“I think there is a real possibility that we won’t bother going back to Israel … when the current violence” recedes, O’Leary told journalists in Dublin. The airline earlier this summer said it would not return to Israel until October 25 at the earliest.
