EL AL moves into Luton

Wednesday, 26 Mar, 2009 0

EL AL is to stop flying from Stansted and will instead start flights from Luton.

Six flights a week to Tel Aviv are scheduled to start from May 3 using a Boeing 767.

Flights will depart Luton from Sunday to Thursday at 12.15 and arrive at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport at 19.05.

On Fridays they will depart Luton at 09.45 and arrive in Tel Aviv at 16.35.

The return flight will leave Tel Aviv Sunday to Thursday at 07.30 arriving Luton 10.50. On Fridays the flight arrives at 08.15.

The airline’s UK, Ireland and Europe CEO Uri Danor 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.”
