You can try Israeli OTAs, like gulliver.co.il or easygo.co.il to try to book those.
Israeli OTA only show same 2 bluebird flights.
So id say it's either fully committed charters, or just slot holder

Dan, can you please post a roundup of airlines currently flying to Israel or restarting in the coming weeks? It was super helpful when you updated the cancellations, and would be helpful to know current travel options. Thanks

Oh that would make sense, once the LY route is not happening anytime soon.

if I'm reading it right; IAD-TLV service resumes in October,
EWR-TLV increase is effective in August

I'm no expert (al all)-- But one person states that by October United will have as much or more service to Israel than before the pandemic began?!

Wierdest time to announce a new route. Only logic I can think of, is to put salt on LY's wounds. For crying out loud, the borders are still closed. EWR flights are barely half full. And a new route now?!
I guess it was an opportunity to beat El Al to it.
