El Al will begin direct flights to Argentina this year, its longest route to date, says Chairman Amikam Ben-Zvi.
The route is announced at a news conference by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and visiting Argentine President Javier Milei, in which the countries signed bilateral cooperation agreements that included an aviation deal.
Milei says the flights should begin in December.
