Ryanair Shuns Tel Aviv Return As Rival Wizz Air Doubles Down

European low-cost giant Ryanair will not resume its flights to Tel Aviv, Israel, this winter, unless Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) provides the carrier with assurances regarding the terminal and historic slot retention. Meanwhile, rival airline Wizz Air plans to capitalize on Ryanair’s absence and boost its presence in Israel’s largest city by offering one million seats for the 2025/26 winter season.
