El Al Stands Alone: Direct Flights to Israel Continue Amid Suspensions

As tensions rise in the region, several major airlines, including Delta and American Airlines, have suspended direct flights to Israel until March 2025. However, El Al, Israel’s national airline, continues to operate direct routes between Israel and the U.S., standing alone in maintaining this critical lifeline. This is more than just a business decision—it’s a matter of national importance, ensuring Israel remains connected to its global allies and enabling the flow of essential goods and people.

El Al’s resilience echoes the strength of Israel itself. With the tourism sector facing immense challenges, the continuation of direct flights helps support both Israel’s economy and its people. For Christian Women For Israel, El Al’s commitment reminds us of the vital importance of keeping Israel connected to the world, especially in times of uncertainty. We stand with Israel in prayer, ensuring that the doors to the Holy Land remain open to those who seek to visit.
