The reason I feel different on this is because its a very public issue, Most Averiahs are really between you and hashem, maybe a few people will see you do the Averiah, However this is a major public thing

El Al is under air traffic rules, I wasnt on the plane so I dont know what happend, but I do know El Al cannot just do what they want, I have seen people ask why werent people let off the plane after it left the terminal (But did not taxi) thats because the TSA does not allow a plane to disembark so easily to secureity.

The governments of Greece and Italy are under no law requiring them to all the plane to land at their airports, maybe they dont have space. Kudos for Greek Chabad for making 120 meals, but that is not so easy , especially in Greece where Kosher food might be scarce (There is a bigger community in Rome so it would be less of an issue there than Athens)

And it just is all public, It makes the news especially since there was Chaos in NYC on Thursday due to the weather, there whole area was crippled, most people understand the airports arent the first concern (Some kids took 8 hours to get home from school) . Use your Sechel especially if you suspect there might be a problem. Change your flight
