Czech airline Smartwings is set to resume its regular flights to Tel Aviv starting April 15. The airline announced this move on Friday, reviving a crucial route amid evolving geopolitical conditions.

Smartwings will operate seven flights per week to the Israeli city, while closely monitoring the prevailing security situation. The airline emphasized its commitment to following the guidance from relevant authorities to ensure passenger safety.
