The decision to resume flights was made "after careful consideration with all relevant departments," it said in a statement. The carrier, which is a subsidiary of Germany's Lufthansa , will begin by operating three flights per week from Brussels to Tel Aviv.

On Wednesday, United Airlines became the first American carrier to announce the resumption of direct U.S. flights to Israel.
