El Al Resumes Flights to Moscow: Starting May 1, Seven Weekly Flights on the Popular Route
Following a prolonged suspension due to a plane crash in Kazakhstan, El Al announces the resumption of the direct route between Tel Aviv and Moscow—a move that may indicate a shift in demand for flights to Russia.
Long Suspension – Now a Surprising Return
In recent months, El Al flights to Moscow were halted due to the crash of an Azerbaijan Airlines plane in Kazakhstan, raising concerns about air safety in the region. Now, after a thorough analysis of the situation and a review of all safety conditions, El Al announces that starting May 1, 2025, flights will resume on the direct route between Ben Gurion Airport and Moscow Airport.
7 Weekly Flights – Return to Regular Schedule
The company announced that seven weekly flights will be operated on a regular schedule. This is a major air route serving a wide range of passengers, including businesspeople, students, tourists, and Russian Jews seeking to maintain family ties in Israel or visit the Holy Land.
Safety First: El Al Upholds Strict Safety Standards
El Al emphasizes that the decision was made only after renewed risk assessments, collaboration with aviation authorities in and outside Russia, and obtaining all necessary approvals for the safe operation of the route.
The company continues to uphold its policy of maintaining aviation continuity even in challenging regions, adhering to some of the strictest safety standards in the world.
Aviation Industry Watches: Is This the Start of a Recovery?
Industry experts estimate that the return to operations may indicate an increase in demand for flights to Russia, after a period when routes to Eastern Europe declined. El Al itself emphasizes that it is prepared to make changes and adjustments according to developments on the ground.
El Al’s return to Moscow represents an important step in strengthening air connections between Israel and Russia. The route has long served as a central bridge between the countries, and its continuation may restore passenger confidence in flights to less stable destinations.
