El Al expands to 52 weekly U.S. flights, including new Boston route

Since the outbreak of the war, the air connection between Israel and the U.S. has become more critical than ever. With the reduced number of foreign airlines operating in Israel and the growing demand for flights from Jewish and Israeli communities, an urgent need arose to increase flight availability. El Al, which has faced much criticism for high ticket prices to the U.S. and limited flights, now announces a significant move that will bring it to a new peak of 52 weekly flights to the U.S. El Al is significantly expanding its operations in North America: Starting this May, the airline will operate five weekly flights on a new route to Boston as part of an expansion plan that will bring the company to a record 52 weekly flights to the U.S. “This is a strategic move to strengthen operations between Israel and the Americas,” said Shlomi Zafrani, El Al's Vice President of Commerce and Aviation Relations. “The direct flights to six North American destinations are operated on the company’s state-of-the-art Dreamliner aircraft, ensuring a comfortable and advanced flight experience.”<br/>
