Despite the obligation to isolate back to Israel and despite the Prime Minister's recommendations - Israelis continue to fly • It is important to emphasize that numbers are declining, but traffic continues


Tomorrow, the obligation of isolation from all but ten countries of the world is expected to take effect, unless the decision is changed in a debate to be held in the Knesset.

Last week, 18 new countries were added to the list of countries requiring the isolation of 18 countries, including France, the United States, Greece, Bulgaria, Germany, Italy and Egypt.

Despite all this, passenger traffic at Ben Gurion Airport continues and tens of thousands of Israelis will pass through there even today. According to data from the Airports Authority, about 30,000 passengers will pass through Ben Gurion Airport today, with more than half (about 16,000) leaving Israel.

The peak traffic since the outbreak of the plague was about a month ago with about 41,000 passengers passing through Ben Gurion Airport every day.

The traffic at Ben Gurion Airport is also relatively active with 227 international flights, of which 121 are outbound flights and the rest are inbound flights. About 14,000 passengers will return to Israel today, most of them Israelis.

In conversations with passengers, many of them take off for destinations that require isolation back to Israel and are aware and willing to absorb the destiny.

Tourism companies report that bookings for destinations that require isolation back to the country such as Greece, Germany, the US and the UK have not stopped, but the slowdown can be seen entirely.

The four countries that accept Israelis without isolation there and return from them do not require vaccinated and recover in isolation are Hungary, the Czech Republic, Austria and Moldova.

This morning, a petition was submitted to the High Court on behalf of the Vacation Lines Company, where it is hoped that there will be an intervention against the state decision and the almost sweeping decision on isolation back to Israel, including vaccinated and recovering will change.
