Tel Aviv, Israel (April 12, 2026)

EL AL said it will significantly expand its international flight schedule beginning next Sunday, April 19, increasing service from 30 destinations to about 40 cities worldwide as the carrier continues its gradual ramp-up in operations.

Under the updated plan, the airline expects to operate roughly 660 flights per week, marking a notable increase in overall capacity as travel demand builds heading into the late spring and summer season.

Among the destinations being added to the network are Boston, Krakow, London Luton, Marseille, Paphos, Rhodes, Thessaloniki, Tivat in Montenegro, and Sofia. The expansion is expected to provide travelers with more direct options across North America and Europe while strengthening the company’s broader route map during one of the busiest booking periods of the year.

The airline also said it has introduced maximum fare caps across all of its destinations through the end of August. The move is aimed at keeping ticket prices within reach as demand is expected to rise in the coming months, particularly ahead of the summer travel rush.

With more seats expected to enter the market over the next week, the carrier is signaling confidence in its ability to continue restoring and growing service. At the same time, company officials are urging passengers to secure reservations early, warning that strong seasonal demand could limit availability on some routes if bookings accelerate.

The latest expansion reflects a continued push to widen travel options for passengers while balancing capacity, pricing, and demand during a period of increased activity for international aviation. For travelers planning trips in the coming months, the combination of added destinations and capped fares could offer a broader range of choices as the summer schedule takes shape.
