Foreign airlines in Israel are seeking an amendment to the Aviation Services Law to suspend the legal requirement to compensate passengers for canceled flights during the state of emergency. The current law is not suitable for prolonged emergency periods and forces foreign airlines to cancel flights, leading to significant losses and passenger claims. The airlines, including major companies like easyJet, Wizz Air, Delta, and British Airways, argue that the compensation clause of the law should be suspended to make their activity in Israel financially viable. The issue was discussed by the Economic Affairs Committee, with the airlines emphasizing the importance of the legal amendment.
