At this point I would assume you're safe.

Maybe rather try to get them to rebook you NYC to TLV via LHR on their own metal without charging more YQ.

I would guess that the chances of them agreeing to book you now on their own metal for January without charging YQ, is about the same as a plume of hair growing out of the palm of your hand, but I would love to be proven wrong. If AB ceases operations between now and the actual flight, that might be another story, but as things currently stand, I stand by my first statement.

Succos time is after 10/01!

Google translate from his original German source blog:

Quote
Bookings to New York again possible
For the route to New York, airberlin's booking mask now offers availability in the Classic and Flex tariffs. This will keep the flights safe. In a previous version of this article we had reported that this connection is also deleted. In the meantime, the tariff in Expertflyer was no longer available and can only be booked at tariffflex at airberlin. A typical indicator for deleting a flight. In the official report, however, New York remains outside, which suggests that the flight will also go beyond September.

Or the original, if you don't want to trust Google Translate (or if you want to practice your German comprehension skills):
Quote
Buchungen nach New York wieder möglich
Für die Strecke nach New York zeigt die Buchungsmaske von airberlin mittlerweile wieder Verfügbarkeit in den Tarifen Classic und Flex. Damit bleiben die Flüge wohl doch erhalten. In einer vorherigen Version dieses Artikels hatten wir berichtet, dass auch diese Verbindung gestrichen wird. Zwischenzeitlich war der Tarif in Expertflyer nicht mehr verfügbar und bei airberlin nur noch im Tarif Flex buchbar. Ein typischer Indikator für die Streichung eines Fluges. In der offiziellen Meldung bleibt New York allerdings außen vor, was darauf hindeutet, dass es den Flug auch über den September hinaus geben wird.

Nah, I don't think so, they will only fly their planes one way to NY, and then have those planes shipped back for reuse.  :P
