Israeli carrier Arkia says that starting tomorrow, it will launch flights to bring back stranded Israel home from several nearby destinations, including Karpathos in Greece, Larnaca in Cyprus, and Tivat in Montenegro.
All of tomorrow’s flights are already full, and passengers have been assigned in advance. There is no need to contact the service center, Arkia says.
Arkia says it is prepared to operate in any time window that security officials approve — including Shabbat — and continues to examine with the authorities the possibility of expanding the operation. Flights are carried out only subject to approvals from security officials and the Civil Aviation Authority.
