Mar 18, 2026·2 min read

El Al says that, due to operational restrictions at Ben Gurion Airport and Home Front Command guidelines, it is canceling regular scheduled flights set to depart between March 21 and March 27.

The cancellations apply only to standard scheduled flights and do not include special rescue flights. In total, the move is expected to affect roughly 25,000 tickets.

The canceled routes include Tbilisi, Budapest, Zurich, Barcelona, Belgrade, Berlin, Boston, Batumi, Fort Lauderdale, Frankfurt, Heraklion, Krakow, Larnaca, London Luton, Lyon, Marseille, Bucharest, Paphos, Prague, Chisinau, Thessaloniki, Sofia, Salzburg, Podgorica, Tirana, Tivat, Venice and Vienna.

El Al says flights to all other destinations not included on the cancellation list are continuing as planned. This also means that US flights are still operating, with the exception of Boston and Fort Lauderdale.

At this stage, because of the current restrictions, the airline says it cannot offer replacement flights to passengers whose trips were canceled. Customers are instead being offered either a full refund or a credit voucher for future El Al flights.
