El Al Melbourne no show?
Feb 24, 2024, 11:48 AMEl Al were planning a new Melbourne route by June 2024. It’s been crickets since that announcement and the route isn’t bookable four months out from that date. Do you think the new Turkish Airlines flights have scuppered their plans for this new route?
