El Al Israel Airlines will operate recovery flights for stranded Israelis to return them to the country.
From June 18, 2025, the Israel airline is expected to operate recovery flights from Athens, Larnaca, Milan, Paris, and Rome.
The airline said these flights are already full and passengers have been notified.
“We emphasise that we operate strictly in accordance with the directives of the relevant security and aviation authorities,” the airline said in a statement. “Priority for flight assignment is based on the original flight cancellation date and urgent medical humanitarian cases. All our crews and aircraft are on standby, awaiting further instructions from the authorities to operate flights at maximum capacity and as soon as possible.”
The airline said flights will be operated gradually.
Thousands of Israelis have been stranded abroad as conflict between the country and Iran continues.
