El Al to Seattle?!

Can't see a date when this was published (but seems recent based on the comment about flying over saudi arabia). Also can't find any info on this anywhere else on the web.  Any chance this is legit?

Seems like a long shot that there'd be enough demand from Seattle to justify the route. But as an ex-Seattleite, this would be great!

It's been discussed late May  :)

Tough to see how SEA-TLV is viable, even with AS feed.

I found the below 3 slides interesting - extracted from a presentation published today - it's similar to what was published last quarter but a bit more granular

- They are adding 6 dreamliners and btw 4 and 7 737 by 2028.
- The first retrofited 777 will be launched in in a few months (i'm excited TBH)
- Working on additional new routes: Philipines (my guess is that it will be a JV with Philipines Airlines), Seatle..
- They signed a MoU for a codeshare with ANA
