Due to the recent developments between Russia and Ukraine and the aviation incidents occurring in the region, El Al announced that it is forced to suspend its operations on the Tel Aviv-Moscow route in the coming days.
The long-running war between Russia and Ukraine has been escalating in recent days amid reports of attacks, drone launches, and mutual threats between the sides. These developments are creating instability in the airspace in the region and are directly affecting flight schedules, leading El Al to decide to suspend the route for the time being.
The decision was made against the backdrop of ongoing situation assessments conducted by the company, in light of the changing security and aviation conditions in the airspace, which affect the ability to operate the line regularly and safely.
El Al emphasizes that during the coming week, a renewed assessment of the situation will be conducted, at the end of which a decision will be made whether it will be possible to resume flights on the route or continue its suspension, in accordance with developments on the ground and the instructions of the relevant authorities.
Passengers who were scheduled to fly on the Tel Aviv-Moscow route in the coming days will be personally informed by the company and will be offered alternatives in accordance with applicable policy and law, including options to change the flight date or switch to alternative routes, to the extent possible.
