El Al Israel Airlines Ltd. (TASE: ELAL) has resumed passenger flights. Last week the company resumed cargo flights and this afternoon an El Al scheduled flight left for London Heathrow. Over the next two weeks there are 42 scheduled El Al flights listed on the Ben Gurion airport departure board to various destinations in Greece including Athens, Thessaloniki, Heraklion and Rhodes as well as flights to New York and Manila. However, it is unclear whether there are enough bookings for so many flights with the instructions of the lockdown prohibiting the purchase of air tickets for Israelis after 2pm last Friday.
