ELAL doesn't have flights scheduled on Shabbos (which doesn't mean that they are not mechallel Shabbos, but it obviously does have some value).
I challenge you to bring a quote from @Dan that says that ELAL has regular flights SCHEDULED on Shabbos.


Here’s How El Al Circumvents Shabbos Flight Restrictions

Did everyone notice that Cobalt is a goner?
Sad if this is true.
I liked their flight times, they had great prices and they left from Terminal 3.

“Cobalt regrets to announce that it will be cancelling all Flights as of 23:50pm on October 17, 2018 due to indefinite suspension of Cobalt’s operations. As a result, future flights or services provided by Cobalt will be cancelled and will no longer operate.

Passengers who have un-flown tickets are instructed not to go to Larnaca Airport or any departure airport tomorrow, 18 October 2018 as no Cobalt flights will operate and no Cobalt staff will be present.

For refunds, please contact your credit card provider or Travel Agent.

We sincerely apologise once again and would like to thank our very loyal customers for their support over the last two years of Cobalt operations.”

That's the problem with the low cost airlines. They drop dead front one day to the next and you're stuck wherever you are.

Is there anywhere to get a list if who flies out of terminal 3 & 1?
I'm not who you think I am.

Does that article say anything about regular ELAL flights on a Shabbos schedule?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Wow is right. Though this shameful airline doesn't deserve any of our money #thieves
(too long to go into details, but the horror story I had with them was far worse than anything else I've had in all the years I work in the industry. Worst customer relations department ever!)

Just flew the A350-1000 on this route. Very high load factor Sold out business and premium economy.

If I remember correctly both AF and Easyjet have seasonal flights in the summer, which they typically advertise in December-January.. I might be wrong

Easy Jet has flights on Shabbos for under USD $100 or mid week for $150
