An Israir airplane on the Tel-Aviv to Eilat line at the ben Gurion International Airport, August 8, 2020.
Israir Airlines and Tourism Ltd. Will no longer operate flights on Shabbat, according to Globes (
Israir stops Saturday flights). Four months ago, two well known Israeli businessmen Rami Levy and Shalom Haim purchased the airline and now have decided to push their Tel-Aviv to Eilat flight from Shabbat day to Saturday night.
Haim told Globes: “By personal conviction I’m a religious Jew who observes Shabbat, and all my businesses are closed on Saturdays. We respect those who observe the Shabbat, and this is not a personal whim of mine, it’s the DNA of Judaism.”
