Highlights: The flight to Bangkok, for example, will last 11:30 hours instead of 08:30. Most of the difficulties come from Oman, the only possible exit point from Saudi Arabia to the east on the way to Israel and Israel. El Al, together with security officials, is examining the options and adjusting the lanes according to all considerations. It is important to emphasize that the issue is currently being dealt with by senior officials, and that this is not necessarily a path that will remain for a long time.


Permitted for publication: The Israeli airline is changing flight routes to the east at this stage • Flights to the east will be extended following the decision

Following the war, the Israeli airline decided to change the flight routes to the east. The airline's customers, who are scheduled to fly to Thailand in the coming days, have received a message from the airline informing them that the flight will be extended.

According to the announcement, the flight to Bangkok, for example, will last 11:30 hours instead of 08:30 hours, following situation assessments in which it was decided to fly on a longer route, similar to the routes operated by El Al before Saudi Arabia and Oman allowed airlines to fly over their territory to Israel and Israel. At this stage, it appears that most of the difficulties come from Oman, the only possible exit point from Saudi Arabia to the east on the way to Israel and Israel.

It is important to emphasize that the issue is currently being dealt with by senior officials, and that this is not necessarily a path that will remain for a long time. El Al, together with security officials, is examining the options and adjusting the lanes according to all considerations.

Arkia, which is supposed to operate flights to Thailand this week, also flies on the long route, with a stopover. Arkia's flights are rescue flights of Thai workers who are in Israel, and the company makes a refueling stop in India and from there continues to Bangkok.
