Many Israelis have gone on vacations around the world, and now they find themselves in a situation where they are having a hard time finding their way back home. 

In a government decision,

Ben Gurion Airport was closed to outbound and inbound flights, causing thousands of Israelis to get stuck in Dubai, the Seychelles, the United States and other countries.

Following the problematic situation, El Al decided to take up the gauntlet and provide a solution, at least for some of the passengers, by operating rescue flights from Tel Aviv to New York and vice versa.

The planes that will take off from Israel will land at JFK Airport in New York, from where the flights to Ben Gurion Airport also departed. The price in the direction of economy class is 600 dollars, including taxes and a suitcase.

El Al customers who have canceled tickets to / from the United States will be able to board a rescue flight at no extra charge. They must register for the flight by contacting the company's call center or through the travel agents.

It is important to note that all passengers will be required to approve an exceptions committee, in addition to a negative corona check valid for up to 72 hours, as well as fill out the health declarations and all required forms according to the flight destination, as detailed on the EL AL website.

From Ben Gurion Airport, two flights will depart for the United States on February 9, 21 - one at 17:35, and the other at 23:00.

From JKF D. Bnei York Airport, two flights will depart for Israel on 11.2.21, with the first departing at 6:30, and the second at 12:00.

Another flight will take off for Tel Aviv two days later at 11:50 p.m.
