EL AL Israel Airlines Expanding US Routes to Israel
In response to increased demand EL AL is expanding its operations and flight schedules in the US, just in time for Passover and the summer travel season.
Beginning in April, EL AL will be adding two weekly flights from South Florida, bringing the weekly South Florida schedule to seven, with the new flights from EL AL’s new Fort Lauderdale gateway. Both Miami International and Fort Lauderdale International offer passengers access to many connections, both domestic and international, especially with the new Delta Air Lines codeshare.
Starting in June, EL AL will add two weekly flights to Los Angeles, supplementing its existing daily flight. The additional flights on Mondays and Wednesdays will bring the total weekly flights on the route to eight, making LAX a pivotal gateway to West Coast destinations such as Las Vegas, San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego, Dallas, Phoenix, and more.
Moreover, EL AL will add an additional weekly flight on the Boston-Tel Aviv route, which will now operate four times a week on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays throughout the summer schedule. With Boston Logan Airport serving as a hub for many destinations throughout the Americas, EL AL’s collaboration with Delta, JetBlue, and other partner airlines ensures convenient connecting travel options.
The company previously added flights to New York and Newark, increasing capacity for the summer season.
With plans to operate over 50 direct weekly flights to Israel this summer, EL AL’s expanded route network is made possible by the optimization of its Dreamliner aircrafts’ schedules and changes to the rest of its international routes. These moves align with EL AL’s strategic growth plans.
“Since October 7, EL AL has strategically adjusted its US flight schedule to uphold an air bridge which is vital for the State of Israel. As we enter the summer season, our commitment to US expansion remains resolute,” says Shlomi Zafarani, VP of EL AL Commercial and Aviation Relations.
