Dear El Al Airlines and Esteemed Members of the Government of Israel,

We, the undersigned, respectfully submit this petition to urge El Al Airlines and the Government of Israel to re-establish direct flights from Canada to Israel. The importance of these routes cannot be understated, as they serve as a vital connection for individuals, families, and communities between our two nations.

Reasons for Re-establishing Direct Flights:

1. Cultural and Family Connections: Many Canadians have family ties in Israel and rely on direct flights to maintain these connections. Direct flights would enable families to reunite more easily, fostering stronger ties between our communities.

2. Tourism and Economic Growth: Direct flights can significantly boost tourism, allowing Canadians to explore the rich history, culture, and landscapes of Israel. Increased tourism can lead to substantial economic benefits for both countries.

3. Support for Business and Trade: A direct air route would facilitate business travel and trade between Canada and Israel, enhancing economic collaboration and opportunities for growth in various sectors.

4.Convenience for Travellers: The current travel options often involve multiple layovers, which can be time-consuming and cumbersome for travellers. Direct flights would provide a more efficient and comfortable travel experience.

5. Strengthening Diplomatic Relations: The re-establishment of direct flights would symbolize a commitment to strengthening the ties between Canada and Israel, promoting goodwill and mutual understanding.


We believe that the re-establishment of direct flights from Canada to Israel would be beneficial for all parties involved. We urge El Al Airlines and the Government of Israel to consider this petition seriously and take the necessary steps to make direct flights a reality once again.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. We hope to see positive developments in the near future.
