Knesset passes bill to force airlines to compensate for nixed flights in 30 days

The Knesset passes an amendment to coronavirus legislation to obligate airlines to refund passengers within 30 days for a canceled flight.

The law will take effect tomorrow.

According to the Ynet news site, millions of shekels have been lost by hundreds of thousands of Israelis as a result of flights canceled by the virus crisis.

Some companies have compensated passengers, either with refunds or vouchers for future flights.
