The AUA and its parent company Lufthansa suspended their regular scheduled flights on Saturday after massive attacks on Israel from the Palestinian Gaza Strip, initially for just two days. This flight break was then extended until October 14th and now until October 22nd.
Evacuation flight on Friday
Regardless of this, the AUA is carrying out another evacuation flight from Tel Aviv tomorrow, Friday, on behalf of the Austrian federal government. This is coordinated by the Foreign Ministry.
