EL AL's troubles have just become a whole lot worse, as the airline has now been banned from operating cargo flights. EL AL hasn't operated a scheduled passenger flight in several weeks, and as of now these flights are banned until June 20, 2020. As is the case with so many airlines, EL AL has…

The pilots are on crack if they think it’s financially worth while for EL AL to give away 25% of the company away... it would probably be better for them to go under.
Tel Aviv has a beautiful airport, it is word class and is very secure.
Delta is resuming their flights shortly and United has served Tel Aviv continuously through the pandemic.
Demand for service from NYC to Israel remains high
Like most Israeli media, this is fake news and you fell for the IAA propaganda.
El Al cargo flights have been taking off just fine:

Corrected- Lucky, Eskimo's comment is crudely racist and blatantly antisemetic. It would behoove you to delete his comment and remove him from your subscriber's list. I'm surprised you haven't done so on your own. Thanks
@Sharon Tel Aviv has many many beautiful things (and food). A beautiful airport is not one of them.
Eskimo - most of the mainstream media in the world today has a lot of fake news - Israel being no exception . As terrible as this is , it is certainly not the same as being a propaganda machine . In fact , you yourself have used a standard fake news method - taking something that was said , and saying that it said something which is completely different , in order to advance some other agenda .
No comment regarding the flight ban, politics as usual.
I will state that the news media in Israel is often faster than that in the US to dig up significant information, with no tilt.
I have found the airport in Tel Aviv to be world class with bright, airy corridors and a simple pathway to know whee you are going.
Then again, the old terminal had its charms.
While travelling to a wedding some family members forgot important bags in the overhead. permission to return onboard was flatly denied for security. They were told they had to file a report with "lost and found". That never happened, the items were immediately returned there, having already been x-rayed.
The title was a bit of a "garden path" for me... I took a moment to wonder how a flight could ban airport fees.
