EL AL Reopens Flight Sales To And From Israel. Customers Still Awaiting Recovery Can Be Assigned To An Alternative Flight.

EL AL is reopening ticket sales to and from Israel. Starting yesterday, EL AL began increasing its flight schedule and adding frequencies from key gateways where Israelis who have not yet returned home are staying.

Company customers who have not yet been assigned to recovery flights to Israel and hold an EL AL or Sundor ticket for a canceled flight can contact the service center or their travel agents (for those who booked through an agent) for assignment to an alternative flight.

These customers will not be charged an additional fee (for flights departing from the same region from which their original flight was canceled, e.g., Europe, USA/Far East).

Starting next week, EL AL's flight schedule will return to full operation for all company gateways. Customers holding tickets for departures from June 29 onwards (and Sundor customers from July 1) can check their flight status in 'Manage Booking' on the EL AL website or with their travel agents.

EL AL has published a uniform pricing structure for flights to Israel until June 30. For example, $99 from Larnaca, $149 from Athens, $230 from Rome, and $649 from New York.

Customers holding EL AL or Sundor flight tickets for departures until July 15 who do not wish to take this flight can cancel their flight (up to 72 hours before departure time) and receive a voucher for future use. Vouchers are valid for two years. A credit voucher can be issued independently on the EL AL website.

To date, EL AL has brought tens of thousands of its customers and Israelis who were staying in various gateways and whose flights were canceled due to the security events back to Israel.

EL AL Will Also Operate Outbound Flights From Israel Without Passenger Limit, And Will Expand Its Flight Schedule To Additional Gateways In The Coming Days.

Following the state's announcement to lift all restrictions on operations at Ben Gurion Airport (TLV), including the removal of limitations on outbound flights, EL AL is preparing to operate these flights with full seat availability, and to fly EL AL passengers whose flights were canceled starting from June 13 at no additional cost. Outbound flights will depart for gateways from which EL AL will be bringing passengers back to Israel.

The opening of the skies allows us to reinforce our flight schedule, with an emphasis on the eight gateways we have announced so far: Larnaca, Athens, Rome, Paris, London, Bangkok, New York, and Los Angeles.

Concurrently, we are expanding our flight schedule, and in the coming two days, we will also operate flights from the following gateways: Budapest, Bucharest, Amsterdam, Prague, Madrid, Milan, Warsaw, and Sofia.

It is important to emphasize that assignment to outbound and inbound flights will be done automatically by EL AL, based on registration via the form on the company's website, and at no additional cost for company customers whose flights were canceled. After all our customers have been assigned, flights will open for booking to the general public.

Subject to the ceasefire and the gradual reopening of Ben Gurion Airport: EL AL is preparing to operate an airlift to support the recovery of tens of thousands of passengers to Israel.

Following the ceasefire that came into effect today, and subject to the expansion of the recovery flight framework, EL AL is preparing to expand its flight schedule to and from Israel starting today. The airline is working on an airlift to bring passengers back to Israel, operating its fleet around the clock to add thousands of seats in the coming day.

Most EL AL passengers are currently in one of the eight gateways where the airline has been operating flights, so these gateways will continue to be reinforced, while the range of gateways will be gradually expanded. Tonight (Tuesday), recovery flights will also operate from Budapest and Bucharest.

Once EL AL passengers have been assigned to the recovery flights, the flights will be opened for public booking.
Please note that the airline has capped the prices of incoming (one-way) flights for those who are not EL AL passengers, and these prices will remain valid until the end of June. Flights from Los Angeles were opened for sale today on the EL AL website and through travel agents.

‏Attached is a list of the capped one-way ticket prices to Israel in Economy Class for a Lite ticket (except for U.S. gateways, where Classic will be sold). These prices are valid through the end of June:

Larnaca – $99
Athens – $149
Bucharest – $210
Budapest – $210
Rome – $235
Tbilisi – $235
Paris – $300
London Luton – $315
London Heathrow – $415
Bangkok – $589
New York – $649
Los Angeles – $699

*Subject To Government Approvals: EL AL Is Preparing To Operate Outbound Flights From Israel Starting Tomorrow (Monday)*

Customers assigned to these flights will receive updates in the coming hours.

Approximately 25,000 outbound flight request forms have been submitted on the EL AL website since registration opened on Saturday night.
According to the framework *approved* by the government, there is a limit of 50 passengers per flight. Additionally, under the current guidelines, passengers departing from Israel will not be permitted to return for at least 21 days from the date of departure.

For now, EL AL will operate flights to eight key gateways:
*Larnaca, Athens, Rome, Paris, London, New York, Los Angeles, and Bangkok.*

EL AL and Sundor passengers whose flights from Israel were canceled between June 13 and June 30, 2025, and who are reassigned to these flights, will not be required to pay an additional fee—provided the new flight is within the same region (Europe, the U.S., or the Far East).

For all other passengers—including tourists, humanitarian and medical cases—EL AL has set fixed one-way fares as follows:

Larnaca: $99
Athens: $149
Rome, Paris, London: $299
New York, Los Angeles: $795
Bangkok: $695

Fares apply to LITE tickets in Economy Class. For U.S. flights: CLASSIC tickets including baggage in Economy Class.

EL AL is subject to and operates in accordance with the directives of the security establishment and the Ministry of Transportation.

The safety and security of our passengers are our top priority, and we will continue to provide updates on any changes or new directives.

We announce that two recovery flights from New York and one recovery flight from Bangkok are scheduled to depart tonight (Israel time) to Israel.
Passengers assigned to these flights have already been notified.

Next week, subject to government approvals, we are preparing to operate recovery flights from key gateways where many of our customers are currently located and which offer high connectivity from various locations.

European gateways from which flights are expected to operate:
London
Paris

Athens
Rome

Our customers will be asked today to update their preferred recovery gateway, should they wish to change it, via an email that will be sent to them directly.

Subject to regulatory approval, tomorrow (Friday), 14 recovery flights are expected to land in Israel from various gateways. Details will be published later today.

Since the start of our recovery flight operations to Israel, we have successfully returned thousands of passengers within approximately seven days from their original flight date. We aim to shorten this timeframe, depending on the state’s authorization to increase flight frequency, and we are prepared accordingly.

Our customers holding valid EL AL or Sundor tickets for canceled flights who have been assigned to a replacement flight are not required to pay for the recovery flights to Israel.

In light of the current situation, we are allowing all our customers and Sundor customers holding tickets for departures through July 15, 2025, to cancel their flights and receive a credit voucher for future use.
Additionally, all EL AL and Sundor flights scheduled to depart through July 15, 2025, are currently closed for new bookings in the booking systems.

Following government approval, we are preparing to operate recovery flights in accordance with the framework and guidelines set by the Ministry of Transportation:

Tomorrow (Wednesday), we are expected to operate recovery flights from the following destinations: Larnaca, Athens, Rome, Milan, and Paris.

Please note that passengers for these flights have already been assigned and will receive notification today. These flights are already full.

We emphasize that we operate strictly in accordance with the directives of the relevant security and aviation authorities. Priority for flight assignment is based on the original flight cancellation date and urgent medical humanitarian cases. All our crews and aircraft are on standby, awaiting further instructions from the authorities to operate flights at maximum capacity and as soon as possible.

Since yesterday, our customers have been registering through a dedicated link published on our website. Based on this registration, destinations for recovery flights have been mapped.

Flights will be operated gradually, subject to government approvals.
As mentioned, passengers assigned to these flights will receive a notification from us. There is no need to contact customer service.

Passengers holding a valid EL AL or Sundor ticket to Israel whose flight was canceled are eligible for a recovery flight at no additional cost.

As of now, according to government decision, there are no outbound passenger flights from Israel to international destinations.

We understand the difficulty, uncertainty, and stress experienced by our customers abroad who wish to return to Israel, customers in Israel who wish to travel abroad, as well as those whose travel plans have been disrupted. Recovery flights will be operated gradually, and we ask for the patience of our customers abroad. We recommend arranging accommodation as needed. Customers may keep receipts, and eligibility for reimbursement will be reviewed in accordance with legal guidelines.

16/06/2025

Following developments in the security situation and in accordance with the decision of the Israeli government, the regular flight schedule of EL AL and Sundor is canceled through Monday, June 23, 2025.

However, in line with the Ministry of Transportation’s directives, we are preparing to operate recovery flights from several EL AL destinations to Israel, based on a limited and gradual flight framework, and in coordination with the relevant security and aviation authorities.

We are opening registration for recovery flights for customers whose flights were canceled in recent days.
Please note: the order of registration on the website does not affect priority.

At this time, we are finalizing the list of destinations and the number of flights that can be operated under this framework. Updates will continue to be published on our website and official social media accounts.

Currently, registration is open for EL AL and Sundor customers whose flights to Israel were canceled since the closure of Israeli airspace and who are currently abroad. The purpose of registration is to map the location of our customers worldwide and build a flight schedule accordingly.
Again, registration order does not determine priority. Priority will be based on the original flight date.

In addition, priority will be given to exceptional humanitarian cases, subject to appropriate documentation and approval by our medical team, as well as diplomatic and security-related needs, subject to approval by the relevant state authorities.

How will the registration process for recovery flights to Israel work?
Pre-registration is mandatory via the link that will be published on our website.
Registration cannot be completed through our call centers.

Registration is required for all EL AL and Sundor customers, whether the booking was made directly with us or through a travel agent.
Link:
https://www.elal.com/eng/general/campaigns/dedicated-flights-all-destinations-list

After registering, a confirmation email will be sent within three hours, confirming receipt of the form.
Please note: this is not a flight confirmation.

Once registration is approved, customers will be contacted via email or text message with updates, including instructions and flight assignments, subject to government approval to operate the flights.
There is no need to contact our service centers.

Registration is for flights to Israel only.

We understand the difficulty, uncertainty, and stress experienced by our customers abroad who wish to return to Israel, as well as those whose travel plans have been disrupted. Recovery flights will be operated gradually, and we kindly ask for your patience. We recommend preparing for extended stays and keeping receipts for accommodation and related expenses. Eligibility for reimbursement will be reviewed in accordance with legal guidelines.

Our service centers are currently handling urgent cases only.
We are aware of the inconvenience caused by the uncertainty and thank you for your patience and understanding.

Following the declaration of a special situation and the closure of Israeli airspace for takeoffs and landings by decision of the security authorities, EL AL and Sundor have announced the cancellation of all their flights.

Given the situation, EL AL and Sundor are allowing customers whose bookings were made up to and including June 13, and who hold tickets for departures up to and including June 28, 2025, to cancel their flight and convert their tickets into a credit voucher for future use.

Customers whose flights were cancelled due to the security situation can receive a refund.

This policy will be updated as needed.
