Three years after launching its Tel Aviv-Ft. Lauderdale route, El Al Airlines has announced it will suspend those twice-weekly flights in April 2026.
“El Al will cease operations at Fort Lauderdale and will concentrate all Florida-bound flights in Miami,” Simon Newton-Smith, El Al’s vice president for the Americas, said in a statement to the Miami Herald.
“EL AL’s service between FLL and Tel Aviv was well-received amongst the traveling public with flights consistently operating on average over 90 percent full,” a spokesperson for Broward County told the Sun Sentinel in a statement expressing “disappointment.”
Broward County operates Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
The airline plans to operate seven flights per week on the Tel Aviv-Miami route. There will be no flights on Shabbat.
