European Airlines Resume Flights to Syria and Israel
歐洲航空公司恢復飛往敘利亞與以色列的航班
Introduction
Several European airlines have started to bring back scheduled flights to Syria and Israel after they were stopped for a long time.
數家歐洲航空公司在停飛較長時間後，已開始恢復飛往敘利亞與以色列的定期航班。
Main Body
The Syrian aviation sector is slowly returning to European airspace. Syrian Airlines has started direct flights between Amsterdam and Damascus as part of a larger plan to increase its European destinations. Similarly, Romania's Dan Air established routes to Aleppo and Damascus in mid-2025. The General Civil Aviation Authority of Syria emphasized that twelve airlines have now resumed operations. This recovery follows a major drop in traffic that began in 2012 due to security problems. Notably, these changes follow the fall of the Assad regime on December 8, 2024, and Israel's decision to occupy a border buffer zone.
敘利亞的航空業正緩慢回歸歐洲領空。敘利亞航空已開始開通阿姆斯特丹與大馬士革之間的直航，作為增加歐洲目的地的更大計劃的一部分。同樣地，羅馬尼亞的 Dan Air 在 2025 年中期建立了飛往阿勒坡與大馬士革的航線。敘利亞民航總局強調，目前已有 12 家航空公司恢復營運。此次復甦是繼 2012 年因安全問題導致交通量大減後發生的。值得注意的是，這些變化發生在 2024 年 12 月 8 日阿薩德政權垮台以及以色列決定佔領邊境緩衝地帶之後。
At the same time, the Lufthansa Group is gradually restarting flights to Israel because tensions regarding the conflict with Iran have decreased. Lufthansa has brought back twice-daily flights from Frankfurt to Tel Aviv, and Austrian Airlines has increased its weekly flights from Vienna to eleven. Furthermore, Eurowings plans to add more flights from Dusseldorf and Hamburg in July, with more expansions from Munich, Zurich, and Brussels in August. Condor also intends to resume services by August 2. However, due to operational limits, Lufthansa Group flights to Dubai and other regional areas will remain cancelled until October 24.
與此同時，漢莎航空集團由於與伊朗衝突的緊張局勢有所降低，正逐步恢復飛往以色列的航班。漢莎航空恢復了法蘭克福至特拉維夫每日兩班的航班，而奧地利航空將維也納起飛的每週航班增加至 11 班。此外，Eurowings 計劃在 7 月增加從杜塞道夫與漢堡出發的航班，並於 8 月在慕尼黑、蘇黎世與布魯塞爾進一步擴展。Condor 也打算在 8 月 2 日恢復服務。然而，由於營運限制，漢莎航空集團飛往杜拜及其他區域的航班將維持取消至 10 月 24 日。
Conclusion
Air travel between Europe and the Levant is gradually returning to normal, although some regional restrictions are still in place.
歐洲與黎凡特地區之間的航空交通正逐漸恢復正常，儘管部分地區限制仍然存在。
Vocabulary Learning
🚀 The 'Gradual Change' Toolkit
At an A2 level, you probably use words like 'slowly' or 'more'. To sound like a B2 speaker, you need to describe trends and transitions with more precision. This article is a goldmine for this.
🛠 Precision Vocabulary: Moving Beyond 'Slowly'
Instead of just saying things are happening slowly, look at how the text describes a return to normal:
- Gradually restarting Use this for a step-by-step process.
- Slowly returning Use this for a physical movement back to a state.
- Resumed operations A professional way to say 'started again'.
🧩 The Logic Bridge: Connecting Ideas
B2 fluency is about flow. Notice these "connecting words" in the text that act like bridges between thoughts:
Similarly... (Used to show two things are happening in the same way: Syrian Airlines Dan Air). Furthermore... (Used to add extra, important information to a list). Notably... (Used to point out a specific, surprising, or important fact).
💡 Pro Tip: The 'Future Intent' Shift
Stop using 'will' for everything. The article uses a sophisticated alternative for business plans:
"Condor also intends to resume services..."
Why this is B2: Using "intend to" shows a plan or a goal, which is more nuanced than a simple prediction. It tells the reader there is a conscious decision behind the action.
