European gateways – Larnaca, Athens, Rome, Milan, Paris, Budapest, Tbilisi, Sofia, Warsaw, Bucharest, Madrid, London, Barcelona, Geneva, Amsterdam, Munich and Zurich.

EL AL is examining the possibility of operating flights on KlasJet aircraft to Taba or Aqaba, subject to receiving the required approvals from the security authorities. These flights would operate from nearby European gateways and would be offered at no additional cost for interested EL AL and Sundor customers.
