A new organization, the Israeli Aviation Consumers Organization, has officially launched to address the ongoing chaos in Israel's aviation sector. The group aims to centralize public complaints regarding flight cancellations and disruptions, which have become routine and caused significant financial damages and distress to thousands of Israeli travelers.
Led by veteran lawyer Ilan Barnboim, the organization will serve as a professional and legal point of contact for passengers seeking to assert their rights against airlines and other industry players. Barnboim stated that Israeli passengers should not feel alone when facing large airlines, emphasizing the organization's commitment to giving a platform for complaints, educating travelers about their rights, and holding accountable those who cause harm.
The organization's efforts will focus on consolidating complaints, disseminating information to the public, and assisting passengers in direct dealings with airlines.
According to the organization, many passengers face unjustified refusals for refunds, poor service, arbitrary schedule changes, and cumbersome systems that hinder their ability to receive legally mandated compensation. The group notes that passengers often forfeit their rights due to lack of knowledge, bureaucratic hurdles, and a sense of powerlessness against large corporations.
Barnboim urged anyone affected by cancellations, delays, or perceived disrespect to come forward, share their stories, and file complaints. "We are here to fight for you, and we will not allow the money of Israeli travelers to be abandoned," he declared, calling on citizens not to give up on their rights.
