Israel Carrier Expands Long Haul Capacity To Meet Growing Demand
El Al Israel Airlines is launching its largest-ever summer schedule in 2026, with a significant expansion of long-haul flights to North America and the Far East. The airline will operate 55 weekly flights to North America, including up to seven daily flights to New York, and increase service to Miami and Thailand. To support growing demand, El Al will deploy larger aircraft, including the Boeing 787-10, on several long-haul routes. The expansion is part of the airline’s long-term growth plan, focused on strengthening key gateways and improving connectivity through its Tel Aviv hub, as reported by AeroTime.
