EL AL Israel Airlines Flight Cancellations: When are they Liable?
When EL AL Israel Airlines can escape liability: EL AL Israel Airlines claims if a flight was cancelled due to events outside of its control; for example bad weather, or issues at the airport. Such events are typically called extraordinary circumstances and in such cases, you are not entitled to a EL AL Israel Airlines missed flight refund.
All airlines will generally try to book you on the next available flight at no additional charge, in the case of cancelled flights. You may agree to the proposed flight or request another replacement flight, or demand reimbursement if you are not happy with any of the options proposed.
Note: If your rebooked scheduled departure arrives at a similar time to your original departure time, you're not entitled compensation. The law is fair and allows airlines not to pay compensation if you can reach your destination with minimum inconvenience. In most cases, passengers who have a cancelled flight will have valid claims for a EL AL Israel Airlines flight compensation.

When EL AL Israel Airlines cannot escape liability: When EL AL Israel Airlines cancel flights, EU 261 Regulation on air passenger rights are clear: You must be put on an alternative flight or provided with a full flight refund.

Additionally, you may receive EL AL Israel Airlines flight delay compensation if you arrived 3+ hours later than the scheduled arrival time of your initial flight.

EL AL Israel Airlines Flight Refund policy
A flight compensation and a refund are two different things. Regulations allow you to receive both: a cancellation refund and compensation.
In case of a cancellation, an airline will try to re-book you on the similar flight, but if that becomes impossible, a cancellation refund will be a full cash refund. Generally, your claim would succeed, providing there were no extraordinary circumstances beyond airline control.
If EL AL Israel Airlines cancels your flight to extraordinary circumstances (such as Covid travel restrictions or a serious illness) and you were offered no replacement flight, you can obtain a ticket refund in full, since your flights booked were not available.
Types of ticket refunds: A full refund must be in cash or credit. Vouchers are allowed only if you specifically agree to it. We do not recommend accepting vouchers due to short expiry dates and potential restrictions on redemption.
Note: If EL AL Israel Airlines offers a replacement flight with approximately the same arrival time and you decide not to take it, there is a possibility of you losing the right to get both compensation and a ticket refund.
Rule of thumb: you can generally reject alternative flights and receive a refund in full, if a new replacement flight arrives 3+ hours later from your initial scheduled arrival time.

בעקבות עיכוב של 4.5 שעות בבן גוריון, פספסנו את טיסת הקונקשן בברצלונה. סגרנו 3 לילות ראשונים בליסבון, אבל את הלילה הראשון העברנו בשדות תעופה במקום . בחופשה ועל הלילה הזה נבקש החזר מאל על סך הכל העברנו 18 שעות בשדות תעופה במקום 7 שעות בלבד
The flight was scheduled to 12:10 but there was a delay of almost 8 hours. I arrived at Ben Gurion airport at 1:00am on the 7/25/2024 instead of 16:30 on the 7/24/2024. We were told that there was an operational problem and that the sky was busy. I’m a MD and was scheduled to see patients at 08:00 on the 7/25/2024. This night I slept only 3 hours and couldn’t concentrate in my work.
Boarding proceeded normally and on time. The plane began to take off, and then the pilot stopped the takeoff for reasons which were never adequately explained. The plane returned to the terminal, refueled (a process which took hours, during which we stayed on the plane), and began takeoff again, and again the pilot stopped the takeoff. Finally, after four hours in the airplane with no A/C and little water, we disemarked. We waited in the terminal for another hour or so, and were then bused to a hotel, where we arrived at around 4 AM. The flight was rescheduled (under a different flight number, but with the same plane and passengers) for the afternoon. I took a taxi at my own expense from the hotel to the airport. The rescheduled flight had no issues. I contacted the airline shortly after the flight (in July 2022) and they refused to provide compensation as they argued that they should not be liable for a technical malfunction, though they did offer a voucher (an offer I did not accept). I contacted them again about a month ago, citing legal sources to support my claim for compensation. They have not responded.
