Condor has restored direct flights between Frankfurt and Tel Aviv, with the first service arriving at Ben Gurion Airport on 1 August 2026. The German airline is now operating the route daily, adding another non-stop option between Germany and Israel. Customers travelling through Frankfurt can also connect with more than 70 destinations across Condor’s wider network, opening additional options beyond Germany.

  • Current season: Summer 2026; not listed for winter 2026–2027

The airline originally announced the route in February, with operations planned for May, but the inaugural service ultimately arrived on 1 August. Condor’s updated summer timetable now lists Tel Aviv as a daily destination. The connection also carries historical significance for the airline, as its first flight in March 1956 was a pilgrimage service between Frankfurt and the Holy Land.

Arriving at Ben Gurion Airport places visitors within reach of Tel Aviv’s Mediterranean coast, Old Jaffa, Carmel Market and Neve Tzedek. The city has 14 kilometres of beaches, while Jaffa adds an old port, narrow lanes, galleries and a flea market. A daily timetable also gives short-break visitors more choice over travel dates than a route operating only a few times each week.

The daily schedule gives travellers more flexibility, particularly for short visits or onward connections. However, Condor’s current winter 2026–2027 timetable does not include Tel Aviv, so anyone planning travel after October should confirm availability before booking separate arrangements. Regional security remains unpredictable, and the UK Foreign Office warns that Ben Gurion Airport can face disruption, making flexible tickets and regular flight-status checks sensible.
