Lufthansa Group Airlines Cancel Morning Flights to Israel Amid Iran Escalation Concerns Austrian Airlines and ITA Airways, both part of the Lufthansa Group, have canceled their morning flights from Tel Aviv on Friday, due to growing concerns over a possible escalation involving Iran. The decision was reported by Israel’s Channel 12. Specific flights affected include ITA Airways AZ809 from Tel Aviv (TLV) to Rome (FCO), scheduled to depart at 05:15, and Austrian Airlines OS084 from Tel Aviv to Vienna (VIE), set for 06:00. Both were marked as canceled in flight tracking data. The cancellations come as regional tensions remain elevated following the renewed US-Iran conflict that began earlier in July 2026 after Iranian actions in the Strait of Hormuz. Israeli officials have been conducting ongoing assessments and preparing contingency plans for potential spillover, while airlines continue to adjust operations based on security evaluations.
