El Al
An official announcement of the long-awaited move will be made during Argentine President Javiel Milei’s June 9-11 visit to Israel, according to Argentina’s Ambassador to Israel.
Thirteen percent of Israelis are Russian speakers.
El Al had reportedly already redirected its Cyprus flights to Larnaca for several days beforehand.
The budget carrier was previously expected to restart service this spring.
The majority-Muslim Balkan state is among the safest for Israelis to visit.
The offer came amid a national public outcry and an ongoing investigation into allegations of price gouging.
The move comes after Russian air defenses accidentally shot down an Azerbaijani Airlines passenger plane.
The current law compels carriers to compensate passengers for canceled flights, leading to the suspension of many routes due to the ongoing war.
El Al sent 8 airplanes for free and Arkia and Israir cut prices following mass assault on Israelis in the Dutch capital.
“We should be prepared to give up a lot, but if we agree to end the war and Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar returns to rule over the Gaza Strip, then the State of Israel will be lost.”
The fixed economy-class prices for a roundtrip ticket to Larnaca, Cyprus will be $199; to Athens, Greece $299; to Vienna, Austria $349; and to Dubai, United Arab Emirates $349.
