The British airline will resume flights between London and Israel in September after pausing flights due to the offensive, Al Jazeera reports.

The airline said it will operate a daily flight in each direction between Heathrow and Tel Aviv using Airbus A330 aircraft from September 5.

“Our return to Tel Aviv on September 5 will be welcome news for customers who have enjoyed our service since 2019, and this time round it’ll be strengthened by our new codeshare partnership with El Al,” Juha Jarvinen, Virgin Atlantic’s chief commercial officer, said.
