Ryanair leaves Israel after disagreements with Ben Gurion Airport

Europe's largest low-cost airline, Ryanair, has officially announced the cessation of operations in Israel. The decision is due, according to the company, to the instability and constant changes in its communications with Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport, which made it impossible to maintain stable flight schedules.

With this withdrawal, Ryanair is putting its growth in the country on hold, where it had attempted to establish regular connections to both Tel Aviv and Eilat, a key destination for international tourism.

The case once again reflects the common tensions between low-cost airlines and airport authorities: the former seek flexibility and tight costs, while strategic airports—such as Ben Gurion—operate with limited slots and stricter regulations.

For passengers, this departure means fewer options for low-cost flights from Europe to Israel, a market in which other low-cost carriers will continue to compete.

🔎 Radar Aviator will closely monitor how this move affects air connectivity in the region and whether other airlines take advantage of the space left by Ryanair.
