Israeli Airlines Boost Flights to Return Stranded Passengers
- El Al Israel Airlines announced it will sharply expand flights and resume regular operations this weekend following a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
- The expansion responds to the June 13 Israel-Iran war that led to airspace closures and widespread flight cancellations stranding tens of thousands of travelers.
- El Al plans to deploy its full fleet on one-way repatriation flights to numerous international cities while smaller Israeli carriers have also started rescue flights.
- Approximately 40,000 tourists have departed Israel through crossings into Egypt and Jordan, by sea routes to Cyprus, and via an increased number of rescue flights operated by various airlines.
- The resumption of flights and airport reopenings signals easing of hostilities and flight restrictions, enabling stranded passengers to return home and normal airline operations to resume.
