As a result of the Corona scare, airlines are canceling flights to the country • Which airlines still continue to fly to and from Israel? • all the answers
Yesterday, a travel warning was issued by Italy on behalf of the Ministry of Health and today we are seeing very dramatic measures by the airlines.
El Al cancels all its flights to all its destinations in Italy, and Rainier has announced that it will continue to fly until March 12 and from that date until March 31 will cancel all flights to Israel. Here are four different lines, from several destinations in Italy to Ben Gurion Airport and Eilat.
El Al and Rainier are not the only companies trying to adapt to the situation. Travalist data indicates more than 50 percent drop in demand for flights to Italy.
Any passenger who is not an Israeli citizen and has recently visited Italy will not be able to enter Israel and the Israelis will be forced to stay in isolation over the next two weeks.
Arkia will cancel its seasonal flights on Passover to Italy and one of the dramatic steps that is expected to take place after inquiring with sources close to the company - Alitalia will reduce its flights from four on day two to Sunday and on Sunday, the company is expected to cancel its flights from Israel, although this decision may change at the moment. .

The significance of canceling Alitalia flights is greater than those of El Al, Arkia or Rainier. This is because Alitalia is a very popular airline among Israelis traveling through Rome with the Continental Flight Company to South America, Central America and destinations in the United States.
The company has very attractive prices and in most cases even market breaks and is therefore considered one of the popular companies among the Israelis who reach the same goals. If the company's flights from Israel are canceled, all flights that follow to those Israelis will be canceled as well, and will have to find another way to reach areas that are still considered safe relations from the corona virus that has not yet reached like Central and South American countries.
