Missing flight
Can someone explain this peculiar thing
tomorrow {26 jan.} elal are operating 2 744 services from tlv to jfk, flight ly001 and flight ly007.
But on the return from jfk, thier is no mention of 2 return services, neither on elal's online schedule, or on the flight info for jfk or tlv, and neither on the kvs availability tool, they all only mention one flight, ly008?!
Although on the jfk website they do mention 2 flights, ly002 and ly008.
Does anyone know the meaning of this???
{perhaps it is being operated as a charter service, or they have decided to leave it there as a gift to president obama!}

Another option is that the plane returns on a later date, or continues to LAX for a return flight.
(and I could make so many jokes about the fact that they let Moses to be the pilot)

4 weeks ago they transfered a B744 from jfk to detroit, for a charter flight to TLV, antone know if this is the case here?

I guess if you can figure out the tail number you could go to some website and get the flight history which would show where that plane went.

Found answer
I have found the answer!!!!!
Tomorrow {THU. 29 JAN.} they are operating only one flight from TLV.-JFK, whilst from JFK.-tlv. there are 2 flights
This flight must be our lost B744
although it s still intresting that they keep the aircraft sitting at JFK for nearlly 4 days
