El Al extends halt on passenger flights until June 20

The Israeli flag-carrier said the decision was based on continued Health Ministry requirements for self-quarantine upon arrival in Israel.

El Al has extended its halt on all scheduled flights to and from Israel until June 20, the airline informed the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange on Wednesday, with the exception of cargo flights and one-off services.
The Israeli flag-carrier said the decision was based on continued Health Ministry requirements for self-quarantine upon arrival in Israel, a ban on entry for foreign nationals, and low demand for passenger flights.
