JERUSALEM, April 10 (Xinhua) -- Canadian flag carrier Air Canada has resumed its flights to Israel, the Israel Airports Authority said on Wednesday.
The flights, which were suspended on Oct. 8 last year following the outbreak of the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, restarted with an Air Canada plane departing from Toronto Pearson International Airport and landing on Tuesday at Ben Gurion Airport outside Tel Aviv.
According to the airline, the resumed schedule initially consists of four non-stop return flights a week from Toronto to Tel Aviv.
Starting in May, the airline will operate three return flights from Toronto and one from Montreal per week.
Earlier this month, British Airways, Dutch airlines KLM, and Spain's Iberia Express resumed their flights to Israel.
A monthly report published by the Israel Airports Authority earlier this week showed that in March, more than 902,000 passengers passed through Ben Gurion Airport, compared to 697,000 in February and only 382,000 in November last year, the first full month after the onset of the conflict. Enditem
