In a move to tighten ties between Israel and the technological epicenter of Silicon Valley, El Al has launched a new direct flight route to San Francisco. This 15-hour journey is set to satisfy the growing demands of the Israeli and business communities in the Bay Area.

With a bustling Israeli presence in Silicon Valley, the new direct service is tailored for both business and leisure travel.

Part of a broader expansion, El Al's announcement came alongside 11 other new international destinations, underscoring its strategic growth. Simultaneously, its partnership with Delta Air Lines offers passengers seamless connections within North America, strengthening the airline's network and loyalty programs.
