(Bloomberg) -- There may be restrictions on traffic in Israeli airspace this afternoon and evening due to planned, routine Defense Ministry activity, ministry says in text message.
NOTE: There were similar restrictions on Monday
Modi's visit?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Thanks. I was wondering why suddenly all the space to NY for tomorrow is zeroed out. Yesterday most flights were wide open

Why I refuse to fly El Al. I don't think the service or anything else is all that different. But the unreliability that I'll get to where I need to go when I need to get there. That I can't handle
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

IMHO that and the "service" stem from the same root cause, which is their corporate DNA. If one is service and customer oriented, they will do everything to make the client happy and get them to their destination aa close as possible to what the customer expects.

Who says they didn't re-accommodate everyone? Between JFK and EWR, they can connect pretty much to everywhere they can connect through Boston (on better aircraft). Besides for the few who were actually flying to BOS as their destination (probably not more than 20% if I'm generous)

Do I understand correctly that they cancelled June 11 and June 13? Were these the ex-TLV or ex-BOS flights?
Any explanation?

So they really cancelled four flights?!
Presumably the load factor was so low that they just accommodated people on the flights to NYC. Not great for Boston folks.
