For years  LY was paying AI not to operate the route

https://www.themarker.com/news/aviation/1.5974100

Hebrew article.

Talks about ELAL'S hypocrisy in trying to block Air India flights over Saudi airspace. When for years they paid Air India in order not to fly to TLV, as well as other anti-competitive practices related to codeshare agreements and marketing.

Hebrew article. TK opening up bag drop lanes for people who self check in @TLV. Also mentions some stats about TK (9 daily flights to/from TLV, 1MM pax per year!)
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Probably the same way everyone else does, computer won't print the tag unless the weight is under.

I am thinking that this might impact flights into and out of TLV.

Additionally, AF strike isn't doing good for seat inventory on European flights.

Not only with FB, it's the same high YQ on other Skyteam programs.
