The consequence of this decision is that there will be no Tel Aviv flights from Memmingen at least in March and April 2024. The carrier has now made it clear in the reservation system that it will use the capacity elsewhere from the Bavarian airport. For example, the routes to Lamezia Terme and Valencia are temporarily increasing to three rotations per week. A similar situation is being followed at other airports.
