An Israeli commercial airliner was forced to make an unscheduled landing at Athens International airport on Sunday, after reporting a problem with its cabin air compression system.
The Israir Boeing 757 – carrying 228 passengers and 10 crew members – was traveling from Tel Aviv to Paris, and landed in Athens after the pilot reported the problem and requested permission to make an unscheduled landing.

did the plane take off on shabbos?
from all the YW reports before, it doesn’t seem like Israir keeps Shabbos, rch”l – it is probably similar to El Al’s emergency landing the other week – if you “mess” with Shabbos, there’ll be consequences
Israir is michallel Shabbos. This is what happens when a company that operates out of Israel flies on Shabbos, unless that company is not El-Al, or not under a cherem, or something like that.
Ban Israir!
Wow! People know why this happened! It’s because they are michalel Shaboos! Awesome!

All of you righteous people who wont fly elal or israir because they are michalel shabbos are hypocrites. you are all like the frummer yidden iin israel who will still take money from the govt for each child, use their resources like kupat cholim and welfare but g-d forbid you use their airlines. the whole govt couldnt care about frum jews and would probably wish they didnt exist .
NAH I THINK THEY MUST HAVE FOUND SOMETHING IN THE SEFER TORAH THAT NEEDED A SHEILAS CHACHOM
