Update from EL AL: Following the decision of the Ministry of elalusa Transportation to significantly reduce air traffic, which includes a major decrease in flight frequency and limits on the number of passengers permitted on each outbound flight from Israel, customers who planned to depart Israel through April 4 had their flights canceled, including the corresponding return flights. A notification has been sent to all affected passengers.

These days, we are operating a limited number of flights to key gateways: New York (JFK and EWR), Los Angeles, Miami, London, Paris, Rome and Athens. At this time, inbound flights to Israel from these gateways are operating without passenger restrictions. Most passengers originally scheduled to fly through March 23 have already been rebooked on these flights. The list of these flights is detailed on the EL AL website. Passengers who have not yet been rebooked will be contacted proactively as soon as additional flights can be operated, subject to the authorities’ guidelines.

Due to the limited number of available seats, rebooking for passengers waiting to be assigned is handled according to ticketing time order, giving priority to exceptional humanitarian and medical cases. Ticket sales for outbound flights from Israel are closed through April 15, while inbound flights to Israel may be purchased based on available seats.
