Can’t be to TLV without being to Israel; been there, done that.

If the Saudis don’t agree with being pretty open to LY flying over Saudi territory, LY’s desire to see Tel Aviv become a transit hub too — and not so purely dependent upon being an O/D airport — won’t have as great a chance of flying for LY. LY wants that dynamic with flying over Saudi territory to change.

For LY to get strong connection flow at TLV, the way TLV operates would need to change. And LY wants at least some of that to change.

LY is cutting back from three Star Alliance hub airports. Just coincidence that the cuts noted in this thread title are for just airports that happen to only be the primary hubs of Star Alliance carriers?
