Ryanair is set to resume operations to and from Tel Aviv from Monday 3 June.

The airline cancelled flights to and from Israel last October in the wake of the Hamas attacks.

It then resumed services on 1 February.

But the airline claims it was forced by Ben Gurion International Airport to use Terminal 3, where charges are higher than Terminal 1 which it had previously used.

This was because the low-cost Terminal 1 was closed.

Ryanair said it didn't mind using Terminal 3, but requested that it be charged the lower prices of Terminal 1 while it had no option but to use the more expensive facility.

The airline said the flights would remain suspended until the airport re-opens Terminal 1.

"It is great news that Ben Gurion Airport is re-opening Terminal 1, which has enabled Ryanair to resume our Tel Aviv operations from Mon, 3 June, with 40 weekly flights to/from key markets such as Cyprus, Germany, Greece, and Italy available to book now at ryanair.com," a Ryanair spokesperson said.
