El Al flight to New York cancelled in labor dispute

El Al flight 027 to New York, due to depart early Monday, is cancelled due to a labor dispute, Hebrew language media report. The return flight will also be affected.

The flight was called off because the pilots refuse to fly as part of an ongoing dispute with management, El Al tells Channel 10.

However, the pilot’s union says El Al is lying and there are six pilots available for the flight. “The pilots have warned El Al of the immense damage being caused to the passengers.”

Walla news says that El Al will refund money to the passengers.
