Israel Airlines announces reopening ticket sales for all routes, plans to resume regular flights to all destinations next week.

In a significant development for the Israeli aviation industry, El Al Israel Airlines has announced the reopening of ticket sales for all of its destinations. Effective next week, the airline plans to resume its regular flight schedule to all destinations it serves, following the full reopening of Israel's airspace [1].

Customers holding flight tickets for departures from June 29th onwards (and customers of the El Al subsidiary Sun D’Or from July 1st) are advised to check their flight status on the El Al website or through travel agents. El Al has also stated that it will begin to ramp up its flight schedule and add frequencies from major destinations where Israelis were stranded but have not yet returned to Israel [1].

For customers whose flights were canceled since June 13 and who have not yet been assigned to repatriation flights to Israel, El Al advises contacting the airline’s service center or their travel agents to book an alternative flight at no additional cost. Customers with El Al or Sun D’Or flight tickets for departures through July 15 will be entitled to cancel their flight tickets (up to 72 hours from the departure date) and receive a voucher for future use, valid for up to two years [1].

This development comes amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The conflict between Israel and Iran has prompted international airlines to suspend flights to some Middle East destinations due to airspace closures and safety concerns. Major airlines such as Air Baltic, Air Europa, Air France-KLM, and Delta Air Lines have all announced temporary suspensions or cancellations of flights to and from Tel Aviv and other Middle Eastern hubs [2].

While El Al's reopening of ticket sales is a positive step for the Israeli aviation sector, the broader geopolitical situation remains uncertain. The airline's ability to maintain its regular flight schedule will depend on the evolving security situation and international airline policies.
