Thanks to the improved conditions for operating civil flights in the airspace of Israel, the national carrier is restoring its flights to and from Tel Aviv, starting from December 26. Flights on the regular route of "Bulgaria Air" to Israel and back will be carried out during the daylight hours - in the morning and afternoon. 

By the end of January 2025, there will be flights from Sofia twice a week - on Mondays and Thursdays, while in February they will become three with an additional flight on Tuesdays. Additional information about the flight schedule and current travel conditions can be found on the official website of the airline. The decision was made after the stabilization of the situation in the Middle East region and after a careful assessment of the risk and safety of passengers and crews, the carrier reported.
