El Al and Eilat

EL AL is considering increasing its Luton – Tel Aviv service to partially double daily for next summer.  The airline says the route has gone very well although there is resistance from the Israel end, potential passengers still not sure that Luton does mean London.  Outbound travellers in all classes gain the benefits of the airport’s fast track service.  The new three times daily flights between Tel Aviv and the popular resort of Eilat look like being a success, the transfer at Ben Gurion about to be upgraded with a baggage drop-off just the other side of customs and immigration for inbound international clients.  Outbound from Eilat through luggage is the norm, as is an apron transfer to the new Terminal 3 for long haul connections.  The airline made a US$14m profit for the last quarter reversing a loss of £19.7m for the same period last year. www.elal.com
