El Al Scales Back Operations Amid Ongoing Security Concerns in Israel
El Al has reduced its flight operations at Ben Gurion Airport due to security restrictions imposed by the Israeli government. The airline has limited its seat availability to about 5% of normal levels, with restrictions on outbound flights to 50 passengers each. El Al will continue to serve essential flights, with priority given to humanitarian and medical cases. The airline has called on authorities to open Ramon Airport as an alternative to preserve international air service. Other airlines, such as Arkia, are also shifting operations to other airports in the region.
