EL AL airline announced a special measure for passengers amid the ongoing chaos at Ben-Gurion Airport. On Thursday evening, serious disruptions occurred at the airport due to labor sanctions. An official strike lasted about an hour, but on Friday morning, August 21, sanctions continued: not all employees returned to their workplaces. Thousands of passengers received notifications of flight cancellations, and many flights did not return to normal schedules. A separate issue remains baggage—significant delays are reported in sending and receiving suitcases, with passengers having to leave home without their luggage. Against this backdrop, EL AL will allow each passenger who decides to cancel their flight today to receive a voucher for future use. The company emphasized that the current situation is not dependent on the airline and is beyond its control, but the carrier decided to accommodate passengers due to ongoing uncertainty.
