IATA calls on Israel to declare an aviation emergency

Under normal circumstances, the airline is required by law to pay for a hotel when a flight is canceled and to provide an alternative flight.

However, according to the amendment approved by the Knesset Economic Committee in May last year, with the introduction of a “special regime in the field of air travel”, companies are only required to pay for two nights of accommodation and are not required to provide a replacement flight, but only to refund the cost of a canceled ticket.
