Israel: Flight industry in danger of collapse

Israel’s aviation industry is in danger of collapse, airline company heads told the country’s coronavirus airport commissioner Wednesday. A solution to allow air travel, despite fears of new coronavirus variants and rising case numbers, must be found quickly, the airline heads told Maj.-Gen. Roni Numa ahead of the coronavirus cabinet’s meeting scheduled for Thursday. Numa met with the heads of El Al, Israir, and Arkia and international carriers in order to hear their feedback and ask for solutions ahead of Thursday’s meeting, his spokesman said. In addition, the CEOs sent a letter to Prime Minister Naftali Bennett calling on him to recognize the seriousness of the situation for the industry and its workers.<br/>
