Five months have passed since the start of hostilities between Israel and the Islamic organization Hamas, and regular flights between Narita Airport and Tel Aviv, Israel's largest commercial city, resumed on the 7th.
El Al Israel Airlines' regular flights between Narita Airport and Tel Aviv, Israel, were originally scheduled to be suspended from December last year to February this year due to fewer passengers, but the number of passengers has decreased due to the continuing fighting. As a result, the schedule was brought forward and the service was suspended from November.
Flights resumed on the 7th for the first time in four months, and a flight from Tel Aviv arrived at Narita Airport in the afternoon, and many families were seen.
An Israeli man in his 20s said, ``In the country, we still have to hide in shelters when missile alerts go off.I have a shelter at home, so my family of six is in it.''
In addition, a Japanese woman in her 20s who works for an Israeli company said, ``Alerts are sounding in areas near Gaza because there is a possibility of missile fragments flying in.It's a difficult situation, but it's been a long time since I last visited Japan.'' I'm glad to be back," he said.
According to the airline, they plan to continue operating three flights a week in March and April due to the expected large number of passengers, and the flight on the 7th was almost fully booked.
