El Al adds new Europe, Asia routes after Oct. 7 pause

El Al Airlines announced the launch of a series of new destinations for the first time since October 7, 2023, on Sunday.
The expanded flight operations offer direct flights to several destinations in Europe and Asia.
The company will now be flying to Hanoi, Manila, Seoul, Sardinia, Sicily, Switzerland, and Croatia three times a week. For the first time since 2001, El Al is also reintroducing flights to Copenhagen.
“The new routes will provide an optimal solution for business travelers and will strengthen economic ties between Israel and Asia,” El Al said in a statement.
“In addition to the direct routes, the company will offer connecting flights to a variety of additional destinations on the continent through collaborations with many airlines.”
This move is an exciting development that strengthens collaboration and ties with Asian and European countries, marking improved diplomatic relations and a return to normalcy after the introduction of phase one of Trump’s Gaza ceasefire.
