Israel’s Transportation Ministry on Monday approved an order allowing Israeli airlines to lift the limits on the number of passengers flying to North America.
The order, which already went into effect, allows El Al, Arkia, Israir, and Air Haifa to operate flights at full capacity rather than with only 100 passengers per flight.
The directive is in place until further notice and in accordance with the Home Front Command’s guidelines.
The 100-passenger limit is still in effect for flights to other destinations.
El Al launched special flights on Monday to bring home US citizens stranded in Israel since the war began.

Being that YWN reaches a very large portion of the Jewish population, I would assume that someone reading this would know of a person headed to America on one of these flights. Can anyone here confirm that they know of someone that secured a ticket on an ELAL flight today?
