This downturn comes as a surprise to employees, particularly given the broader success of Israeli airlines over the past two years. Arkia had expanded its operations, filling a void left by nearly half of foreign airlines that ceased flying to TLV due to the ongoing conflict. Despite this expansion, the company is now facing cash flow problems, according to industry sources. Employees are concerned they will bear the brunt of management disputes and potential layoffs. Arkia, however, stated it is "proud of its exceptional achievements in the last three years."
