El Al airline announced that subject to a ceasefire, the gradual opening of Ben Gurion Airport and expansion of rescue flight operations, it is preparing an air bridge to return tens of thousands of passengers to Israel: "The company is working on an air bridge, operating its fleet of aircraft around the clock in order to add thousands of seats in the coming day." The airline further stated that "most El Al passengers are staying in one of the eight destinations to which the company has been operating flights, so we will continue to reinforce these destinations while gradually expanding the range of destinations. Tonight, rescue flights will also operate from Budapest and Bucharest. Once El Al passengers have been assigned to rescue flights, we will open the flights to the general public for booking."
