EL AL Will Operate Special Flights for American Citizens Whose Flights from Israel Were Canceled

Mar 13, 2026·2 min read

El Al Statement: Thousands of American citizens whose flights back to the United States were canceled due to the war with Iran are currently staying in Israel. As part of an arrangement between the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, and EL AL, beginning March 16, we will operate six non-stop flights from Tel Aviv to New York designated exclusively for American citizens. These flights are expected to depart at full capacity, subject to Government Approvals.

Starting Sunday morning, we will proactively contact American citizens holding valid EL AL flight tickets whose flights were canceled and have not yet been reassigned, and will offer them placement on these dedicated flights At No Additional Cost. We kindly request that all EL AL customers holding American citizenship complete the following Registration Website form: https://elal.com/eng/about-elal/news/special-flights-to-usa

We are prepared to expand the Flight Schedule for dedicated flights for American citizens, understanding that the current number of flights provides only a partial solution and does not meet the high demand. Any expansion of activity will be carried out Subject to additional Government Approvals.
