Ex-TLV Routes and Flights Discussions

[yelped]

From who?
Slots are use or Lose (minimum of 80% of the time operation)
We're they leasing to someone else?
Is there a way to see if someone else stopped a route
Are they using a DL slot (squatting for delta) under the new MOU?

I believe there are a bunch of waivers still in place, more or less, from 2019. There may have been some gaps in between, though.

El Al said a survey it commissioned of Israeli adults who plan to travel abroad found that just 30% of them hold visas to enter the United States, while 40% of those considering flying to the US said the need for a visa was one of the main barriers to flying there.

If Israelis may enter without a visa, the willingness to fly to the US would rise by 20%, according to the poll. It also showed that 65% of respondents said New York was the most sought-after US destination, followed by Los Angeles at 13%.

I'm surprised this never came up when people publicly discuss how "charedim" afford to buy housing.

They might give you good value to South Africa or Maldives.

Also lifemiles to Africa destination could be good value IIRC.

Am I the only one who finds this at least mildly anti semitic?

It's not everyday you say a Fiji aircraft in TLV

[SuperFlyer]

Is this the first ever ANR-TLV service?

Yes it is.

Great Idea for Belgian folks working in Israel and vice versa.
technically walkable distance from the jewish area, otherwise by bike or bus.
Tiny airport so things should go really quickly.

It has also a good connection to London City (LCY), where one would land 15 mins prior to take off, due to the time differences.

According to them:

El Al is the only Israeli company that can operate a direct line from Israel to Mexico. In response to the signing of the agreement, E Al stated that "this is an agreement between countries that has the ability to open new avenues and routes for El Al as well. The company will examine the commercial and operational implications of operating a direct flight from Israel to Mexico, and accordingly formulate its decision on the matter."

CRUCIAL QUOTE: 1.8%. That’s how much of United’s total passenger capacity is from flights between Israel and airports in Chicago, Newark, San Francisco, and Washington-Dulles, according to Deutsche Bank research. That makes United by far the most vulnerable U.S. airline to conflict-related cancellations in the region, topping Delta’s 1.2% and American Airlines’ 0.4% Israel flight passenger share, according to the bank.
