Posted on Mar 16, 2021 by Ifi Reporter - Dan Bielski

That is, many flights are currently in question, and passengers who have purchased tickets Will be approved.
United Airlines is due to receive permission to operate 3 weekly flights from San Francisco to and from Israel, the first of which will leave Silicon Valley on March 21 and land in Israel the next day - so that some Israelis who are there, and wish to do so, can come to Israel to vote. In addition, the company will continue to operate 10 weekly flights to New York.
Another flight by Air Europe from Madrid to Israel, which is almost full and awaiting approval, is also planned for next week, and a flight by Ethiopian Airlines from Addis Ababa, to which many seats can still be booked. Israir will operate flights to several destinations in the coming weeks, such as Cyprus, Athens, Batumi, Dubai, Rome, Bulgaria, Belgrade and Montenegro, but the frequency of flights and approvals have not yet been given. Arkia has requested permission to operate flights to the Seychelles, Dubai, Belgrade and Georgia, among others.
Turkish Airlines - the second largest foreign airline in Israel in 2019 - has announced that it will start operating flights from Istanbul to and from Tel Aviv, with the first flight departing from Tel Aviv on March 18, while the flight to Tel Aviv will arrive on March 20. This flight is expected to significantly facilitate many of the Israelis in the world, as it will allow them to reach Israel or fly to the US via a connecting flight. For example, currently, Israeli passport holders can fly to the US via Turkey, but can not enter the US via flight Connection from Frankfurt.
