In Israel, the rights of air passengers are protected by the Aviation Services Law (Compensation and Assistance for Flight Cancellation or Change of Conditions), which came into effect in 2012. This law is significantly inspired by and largely mirrors the EU Regulation 261/2004, providing similar protections and compensation amounts for flight disruptions that are within the airline's control.

Who is Covered by the Israeli Aviation Services Law?

You are generally covered if:

• Your flight departs from an airport in Israel (regardless of the airline).
• Your flight arrives at an airport in Israel from outside Israel, and the operating airline is an Israeli-licensed carrier.

What Does the Aviation Services Law Cover?

The Israeli Aviation Services Law provides compensation for:

• Flight Delays: If your flight arrives at its final destination 8 hours or more after its scheduled arrival time. However, airlines often pay compensation for delays of 4 hours or more in practice, similar to EU rules for care.
• Flight Cancellations: If your flight is cancelled and you weren't informed at least 14 days in advance, or the airline didn't offer a suitable alternative.
• Denied Boarding (Overbooking): If you are involuntarily denied boarding due to the flight being overbooked.

Compensation Amounts You Could Be Owed

The compensation amounts under the Israeli Aviation Services Law are fixed, based on the flight distance, and are tied to EUR values, but typically paid in NIS:

• NIS 1,300 (approx. €250 equivalent) for flights up to 2,000 km.
• NIS 2,000 (approx. €400 equivalent) for flights between 2,000 km and 4,500 km.
• NIS 3,000 (approx. €600 equivalent) for flights over 4,500 km.

Please note: For delays between 5 and 8 hours on flights over 4,500 km, the compensation amount may be reduced by 50% to NIS 1,500 (approx. €300 equivalent).

Your Right to Care

In addition to financial compensation, the Israeli Aviation Services Law also mandates that airlines provide you with "Right to Care" during significant delays or cancellations:

• Meals and refreshments appropriate to the waiting time (for delays over 2 hours).
• Two free telephone calls, telex or fax messages, or e-mails.
• Hotel accommodation and transportation between the airport and hotel, if an overnight stay becomes necessary.

Expert Insight from MySkyHelp: "Israel's Aviation Services Law offers significant protections, resembling EU standards. However, navigating the specific legal interpretations and direct communication with Israeli airlines can be challenging for individuals. MySkyHelp helps you navigate these specific regulations to secure your compensation seamlessly."

While Israel's Aviation Services Law provides strong grounds for compensation, securing your rights from Israeli airlines can sometimes be complex and require expert knowledge. MySkyHelp's dedicated team is intimately familiar with Israeli aviation law, ready to fight for your successful claim.

Useful Tips for Passengers:

• Crucial Documentation: Always keep your boarding pass, e-ticket, and booking confirmation. These are essential for proving your eligibility and who was on the flight.
• Get the Reason for Disruption: Try to obtain a written statement from the airline regarding the exact cause of the delay or cancellation. This is vital, especially if the airline attempts to claim "extraordinary circumstances" or other reasons to avoid payment.
• Understanding "Extraordinary Circumstances": Israeli airlines, like others, may try to avoid paying compensation by citing events beyond their control (e.g., severe weather, security alerts outside airline control). However, common technical faults or operational issues are generally not considered extraordinary and are typically compensable.
• Be Aware of the Statute of Limitations: In Israel, you generally have 7 years from the date of the incident to file a claim under the Aviation Services Law. While this is a generous period, we recommend acting promptly to ensure all details are fresh.
