El Al to suspend regular flights to and from Japan

The Israeli airline El Al will suspend regular flights to and from Japan starting next month as clashes continue between Israeli forces and the Islamic group Hamas. El Al offers two round trips a week between Tel Aviv and Japan's Narita Airport, near Tokyo. But the airline plans to stop the service until March next year, after the final round trip on October 31. El Al had originally planned to suspend flights on this route from December through February, when passenger numbers drop. The plan was brought forward because of the ongoing fighting, which has already discouraged travelers.<br/>
