El Al extends commercial flight suspension until May 30

El Al reports to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange that it is extending its suspension of commercial flights until May 30.

The company says in a statement: “In view of the fact that the easing of restrictions published last night by the Health Ministry does not include an easing of restrictions with regard to the obligation on passengers entering Israel to enter quarantine, and in view of the ban on non-Israeli nationals entering the country and low demand for flights, we have decided to extend our temporary suspension of flights. The company will continue to fly cargo flights to and from Israel, including the use of passenger planes for this purpose, and will continue with special passenger flights as needed.”
