The company emphasizes the difficulty of dealing with competition with companies that can fly over Saudi Arabia and Turkey • Every day there are about 20 daily flights of Turkish airlines from Ben Gurion Airport and back


After many years in which Israeli airlines did not fly to Turkey, the Israeli airline asked the National Security Agency and other parties involved in the matter to allow it to fly to various destinations in Turkey.

Turkey is considered the leading destination in the list of destinations to which Israelis have been flying in recent weeks.

Every day in recent times there are almost 20 daily flights of Turkish airlines on the routes between Ben Gurion Airport and the various destinations in Turkey. Senior officials at El Al work with political factors to advance the move.

In parallel with attempts to promote the direct flights of Israeli airlines to Turkey, El Al is trying to promote the opening of the possibility to fly over Saudi Arabia due to the opening of various destinations in Australia and Asia including Thailand, the Philippines, India, and soon Japan, Hong Kong and possibly China.

The company emphasizes the issue of inequality and the difficulties of dealing with competition from companies that can fly over Saudi Arabia and Turkey and tries to deal with the issue against various political factors in Israel and other countries. 

In preparation for the merger with Arkia, El Al is currently awaiting approvals from the competition authority with the aim of turning El Al into a company that offers tourism services in parallel with aviation services, which should significantly expand the company's services.

In addition, Bal Al reported sales of $ 247 million in March 2022 compared to $ 215 million in the same month in 2019. The company reports a similar trend in April and May as well.
