On the other hand
El Al announced Monday morning that it has begun preparations for a rescue operation to bring Israelis back home, which will commence immediately once Ben Gurion Airport reopens for operations.
“We are preparing for an operation to bring Israelis back home as soon as Ben-Gurion Airport reopens for activity,” the airline said in a statement posted on its website. “Recovery flights for EL AL and Sundor customers whose flights were canceled will be provided at no additional cost. Flight sales to the general public will open only after all EL AL and Sundor customers have been brought back to Israel.”
El Al also said that it is preparing to operate recovery flights from New York, Miami and Los Angeles in the US; Bangkok and Phuket in the Far East; and Larnaca, Athens, Rome, Milan, Paris, Budapest, Tbilisi, Sofia, Warsaw, Bucharest, Madrid, London, Barcelona, Geneva, Amsterdam, Munich, and Zurich in Europe.
Additionally, El Al is exploring the option of operating flights on KlasJet aircraft to Taba or Aqaba, subject to receiving the necessary approvals from Israeli security authorities.
