The “El Al” company is opening a new seasonal flight line to Fort Lauderdale, a particularly popular vacation destination in the state of Florida, starting September 13, 2023. Direct flights to this destination will be operated on selected dates in the months of September-October 2023, in response to the high demand for flights during the holiday season in Israel. Starting in April 2024, a regular flight line to this destination is expected to operate.
Along with the new service to Fort Lauderdale, El Al will increase the number of direct flights to Miami from five to six flights a week. Starting on the evening of Shavuot, El Al will add another direct flight from Tel Aviv to Miami every morning on Friday, and from Miami to Tel Aviv every Saturday night. All flights to and from Florida, including the new service to Fort Lauderdale, will be operated on the B787 Dreamliner.
Earlier, as part of the International Tourism Conference held in Tel Aviv (IMTM), El Al’s new routes to Tokyo, the capital of Japan, and to Dublin, the capital of Ireland, were inaugurated.
More than 40 weekly flights to the United States
Shlomi Zafarani, El Al’s Vice President of Commerce and Aviation Relations, welcomed the move and said that with the launch of the route to Fort Lauderdale, and with the expansion of the frequency of flights to Miami, El Al will operate more than 40 weekly flights to the United States. “We are proud to continue our mission of being a bridge between Israel and the world . El Al’s network of direct routes to a variety of destinations in the USA provides the best service, in our state-of-the-art Dreamliner aircraft, and provides the best flight experience between Israel and the USA.
