Here is a site with updated list of airlines flying or not flying:

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 (12/15: added Aegean and Azerbaijan)
Note that daily refers to flights but not necessarily airlines. List derived from Ben Gurion flight boards but is only from Ben Gurion.

Why are we debating whose life is more difficult? The fact that there are soldiers on the front lines doesn't diminish the difficulty of the American families who need to get home.

Aside for personal needs, right now it’s better for Israel if tourists leave. Aside for resources, safe shelter is in extreme demand and cannot be imported. All those hotel rooms and empty apartments are needed and still won’t fully satisfy the demand.

On the other hand foreigners in Israel help keep the economy going.

In normal times, yes. Right now they are contributing to the Israeli economy from overseas at all time numbers.

I am I the only one wondering this:
How is it that illegal aliens are asked by the US government, after illegally cross the US southern border, to which city they would like to go to. They can choose to go anywhere in the country and they government pays for their flight ticket. In some instances, the government even charters flights. Additionally the illegals also receive cash assistance. Concurrently, Legal American Citizens that are stuck in Israel are required to pay for their evacuation flight to a foreign land not of their choosing and also don't receive cash assistances.

I dont think the plane will land before shabbos. as they just wrote to be in airport at 8 with no flight time, with current situation in airport I believe they request to be 5-6 hours before flight, and since all flights are delayed currently with a few hours it is most likely that the plane will land after shabbos onset or atleast not enough time to leave the airport
