EL AL President, David Maimon, said “EL AL sees strategic value in reinforcing its activities in North America. The airline aims to expand and increase its routes between Israel and North America, meeting the demands and needs of the important business community, as well as promote tourism. With the opening of this new nonstop route, it is expected that the New England region will become a popular vacation destination for Israelis.
