El Al says it is preparing to operate outgoing flights, which will be limited to 50 passengers per plane departing from Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport, set to start on Monday.

The flagship carrier says it has opened registration on its website for departures from Israel subject to an outline by state authorities. According to the outline, the number of passengers on each flight will be limited to only 50 people.

El Al plans to operate flights to eight major destinations: Larnaca, Athens, Rome, Paris, London, New York, Los Angeles, and Bangkok.

Passengers are asked to fill out the registration form on the El Al website, including the destination they wish to fly to. The airline emphasized that the registration is not a reservation or seat confirmation. Following registration, customers will be updated via email, El Al says.
