El Al and Romania's TAROM launch codeshare, boosting Tel Aviv-Bucharest flights

Israel's flag carrier airline, El Al signed a codeshare agreement with Romanian state-owned TAROM Airlines on Tuesday. Under the agreement, EL Al's flight code (LY) will be added to TAROM-operated flights between Tel Aviv and Bucharest. The number of weekly flights on the route will increase to 18, and the first flight under the new agreement will travel on April 1. One benefit of the codeshare agreement is that members of El Al’s frequent flyer program, including new enrollees, will be able to earn points on flights to Bucharest. The signing of the agreement was held at El Al's headquarters at Ben-Gurion Airport and was attended by Romania's Ambassador to Israel, Radu Ioanid.<br/>
