The French airline Air France resumed its operations in Israel yesterday (Tuesday), launching a daily flight to Paris on a Boeing 777-300 aircraft. From Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, passengers can continue to approximately 300 destinations worldwide via connecting flights.<\/p>\n
A Partial Recovery<\/strong> \nWith many foreign airlines continuing to delay their return to Israel, Air France\u2019s resumption of service is an especially encouraging development. It follows the recent re-launch of flights to Israel by both Delta and Aegean Airlines last week.<\/p>\n
Still, the state of international aviation suggests that a full recovery of flights to and from Israel remains a work in progress.<\/p>\nAir France aircraft | Photo: Ben Gurion Airport, Israel Airports Authority<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

El Al Reports Strong Quarterly Results<\/strong> \nThe Israeli airline El Al has reported particularly strong performance for the first quarter of 2025. According to company data, revenue for the quarter reached $774 million\u2014an increase of 5% compared to the same period last year. Net profit rose to $96 million, reflecting a 19% increase.<\/p>\n
El Al currently holds a 44% share of flights to and from Israel and commands over 90% of the market for flights between Israel and North America. These strong earnings are largely attributed to ongoing restrictions on foreign airlines, many of which continue to operate on a limited schedule due to the security situation.<\/p>\n
The second quarter began with signs of renewed activity from foreign carriers. However, a missile launched from Yemen toward Israel in May 2025 led several airlines to cancel or delay services. El Al estimates that these circumstances will continue to support high demand and strong passenger load factors, with revenue per seat expected to remain consistent with last year\u2019s levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
