An El Al flight from Tel Aviv to Miami, LY017, was forced to turn back to Israel after more than six hours in the air due to an unexpected technical malfunction. The aircraft is now returning to Ben Gurion Airport, meaning passengers will have spent over 10 hours flying without reaching their destination. El Al stated that upon arrival back in Israel, passengers will be offered the choice between an alternative flight to Miami or a full refund for their tickets. The airline apologized for the inconvenience, emphasizing that the safety of passengers and crew is its top priority. No further details regarding the nature of the technical issue have been released. This incident follows a similar event just a day prior, when an Israir charter flight also had to return to Ben Gurion Airport shortly after takeoff, approximately 40 minutes into its flight, due to a technical problem.
