El Al this spring will begin to expand service between the U.S. and Israel, the carrier said Wednesday.
In April, El Al will add two weekly flights from Fort Lauderdale, bringing the airline's weekly South Florida schedule to seven, including Miami flights.
In June, the carrier will add two weekly flights from Los Angeles on Monday and Wednesday, bringing the total on that route to eight, according to El Al.
In addition, the carrier will add a new weekly flight between Boston and Tel Aviv, which will operate four times weekly on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday for the summer schedule. El Al said it also plans to continue to add flights from New York and Newark for the summer season.
Several carriers reduced or suspended service to Tel Aviv after the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas, and the carrier said it was trying to replenish some of that capacity.
"Since Oct. 7, El Al has strategically adjusted its U.S. flight schedule to uphold an air bridge which is vital for the State of Israel," El Al vice president of commercial and aviation relations Shlomi Zafarani said in a statement. "As we enter the summer season, our commitment to U.S. expansion remains resolute."
