Israel's flag carrier is looking to begin operations to the Maldives.
In an interview with Reuters last week, Chief Executive Dina Ben-Tal Ganancia said El Al was looking to resume flights to India and add flights to Australia, and possibly the Philippines, Singapore and Maldives at some point, and plans to expand its Boeing 787 fleet to 22 by 2028 from 16 currently.
