What happened
According to the Ben Gurion flight board, the flight scheduled for 7 November at 07:05 took off only on 8 November at 01:08 – about 18 hours late (departure delay; we don’t know the exact arrival time). The flight stops in Athens for a crew change.
What we know about the cause
On 5 November the Lufthansa Group announced its crews would not overnight in Israel until the end of November, citing concern about regional escalation. The airline may argue these were special circumstances. On the other hand, the airport operated normally and other airlines kept flying – so it’s an open question.
