EL AL is pleased to announce the start of third frequency from London to Tel Aviv. The additional 6 times a week service will fly from London Luton Airport from Sunday May 3rd*.

Uri Danor CEO, UK, Ireland and Northern Europe said: “We are excited about our new venture and have had good co-operation from Luton to enable us bring this service to the market.

“The timings are good as our departures and arrivals will be at times when the airport is probably at its quietest enabling swift boarding and disembarkation. We will be using B767 aircraft offering both Business and Economy cabins with full meals and drinks services.”

Flights will leave London Luton from Sunday to Thursday at 12.15 and arriving in Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport at 19.05. On Fridays they will leave at 09.45 and arrive at 16.35. The return flight will leave Tel Aviv Sunday to Thursday at 07.30 arriving 10.50. On a Friday the flight arrives at London Luton at 08.50.

The services are ideal for both leisure and business travellers.

The new service means that EL AL will no longer be flying from London Stansted.
