Here is a site with updated list of airlines flying or not flying:
https://www.passportcard.co.il/article/airlines-at-war/

If it says, for example:
לא (כל הטיסות מבוטלות עד ל05.09)

It means as of now they are not flying until Dec. 5, not including, meaning they are set to restart on Dec 5.

Many airlines keep on pushing off the restart date.

List sorted by destination airport code (for those who prefer this format) - Last updated 11/13

Didn't they even do this during some of the COVID closures? I definitely took Ryan Air from T3.
and then the very smart non political ag decided that head of IAA who decided that exceeded his authority and needs the Knesset to pass a law to that effect(which she will promptly reject and petition the high court to overturn on some trumped up basis of actually serving the people)

If ceasefire holds, there should not be any reason why all the airlines don’t open up

Some are going to be quite skittish about returning until they see that the region is truly stable.
Also these airlines dont just have the planes that would be flying the TLV route sitting around waiting for TLV to be safe, they put them to work on other routes, sold seats on other flights... Its going to still be a long time till the flight schedule resembles anything remotely approaching earlier ones.

Also check EK - they also fly MXP-JFK and are often surprisingly cheap.

YMMV depending on the check-in agent, try to ask by check-in. leave enough time for the connection in case they don't

Arrives to MXP 7:30 and LY flight is at 9:45. Is that enough time?
Also, if UA is in business, better chance of the agent cheking it through?

EK flies JFK-MXP, not EWR.

Don’t think it’s enough time if it doesn’t check through. Business should have a better chance working.
