Except for a Sat night flight out of EWR (and that after the plane have stayed on ground for more than 30 hours), LY does not have a night service from EWR to TLV. On Sun-Wed the plane departs EWR at 2:30PM and arrives TLV at 8AM. The Sun service from EWR is actually excellent for commuters who arrive TLV just in time for a new business day. With this schedule, the plane can make a round trip to Europe (AMS or LHR) and be back for the night departure to EWR from TLV. Who said that Sun night has more commuters?
