Israeli airline El Al has extended its suspension of flights from Tel Aviv to Moscow until the end of March 2025. The decision was made after a comprehensive assessment of the situation and the crash of the Azerbaijan Airlines plane in Kazakhstan.
Israeli national airline El Al has announced that it is extending the suspension of flights from Tel Aviv to Moscow until the end of March 2025. This was reported by The Times of Israel, according to UNN.
“After a comprehensive assessment of the situation, El Al is suspending all its flights on the Tel Aviv-Moscow route until the end of the winter schedule,” the newspaper quoted the company as saying.
Recall
On December 26, the airline suspended flights to Russia for a week. The decision was announced the day after the crash of an Azerbaijan Airlines plane flying from Baku to Grozny in Kazakhstan.
According to preliminary results , the crash of the Embraer 190 airplane was caused by “external interference,” Azerbaijan Airlines said.
Russian officials put forward a version that the cause of the plane crash over Aktau (Kazakhstan) was a gas cylinder explosion. This position surprised the Azerbaijani authorities because the condition of the plane's fuselage completely negated this version.
