Chaim V’Chessed has been incessantly lobbying for additional emergency flights between Israel and the United States, and have just informed YWN that El Al will operate more emergency flights to and from the USA.
They will operate a total of six flights between TLV and JFK.
El Al is set to operate a number of flights from Ben Gurion Airport on Feb 13, Feb 15, and Feb 18th.
Flights from New York to Tel Aviv are scheduled for Feb 15 & 17th, taking off at 12 noon from JFK Airport & Feb 20 at 11pm EST.
TICKETS FOR THIS FLIGHT SHOULD BE AVAILABLE BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. TO PURCHASE A TICKET CONTACT A TRAVEL AGENT OR TRY EL AL’S WHATSAPP AT: +972 3-977-1111. Enter code 15684.
Book fast, as earlier flights were sold out within hours.
Meanwhile the United States DOT has filed a complaint to the Israel Foreign Ministry, questioning why only El EL was given authorization for the emergency flights, while no other airlines are permitted to fly.
US-based airlines Delta and United – along with every carrier other than El Al – have not been permitted to operate flights between America and Israel.
The United States claims this is violating the aviation agreement between Israel and the United States.

The Israeli government is being arrogant as usual. Why is it only allowing El Al to fly in and out of Israel? I had a return flight booked with United for $819. Why should I pay the El Al thieves $600 for a one-way flight with their lousy service and uncomfortable seats? And you wonder why the world hates the Israelis aka the Jews.
yes finally Israel will listen
we all had enough of Bibi’s selfishness
Nothing to do with Bibi. Israel is an immature arrogant country without any sensible record of administrative governance. Other nations have professional non-party government service employees who make plans. Israel runs from one minute to the next on political whims without any respect for its citizens, any of them haredi or chiloni. Do not make the mistake of thinking it is just the poor yeshiva students and crying sem girls who do not know if they will be able to come back after their geshmake Florida or Hawaii Pesach vacation with Daddy and Mummy. Guys and Girls, the pizza and ice cream stores are waiting for you gals and the Thursday night cholent parlors need you yeshiva leight!
