Tourism In Israel So Far
Unaffected By Crisis

Jerusalem (JPFS) —
Tourism to Israel is so far
unaffected by upheavals in
the Middle East.
Representatives of airline
companies told the
Jerusalem Post that there
have been some inquiries
about departures from Israel
ahead of schedule, and there
have been a "a few cancella-
tions" by individual
travelers, but there were "no
cancellations of major con-
sequence."
Laufer Air, which handles
most of the charter flights to
Israel, reported that there
have been no cancellations
at all.
Most groups scheduled to
arrive for the summer, said
El Al spokesman Nahman
Kleiman, are already here,
and Americans who arrived
in July are booked to go back
now for the end of the school
vacation.
Kleiman admitted that
there were some requests
last week for early depar-

tures, but seats were not
available, so the names were
put on a waiting list. El Al
was considering adding
three flights to its East
Coast schedule this week, he
said, but noted that at the
beginning of the summer
flights were added to bring
passengers from the U.S. to
Israel.
The few cancellations that
there have been, he said,
came mainly from the U.S.
The only significant
cancellation from Europe
was that of a group of
American servicemen who
were coming from Germany,
but in the interim were
called up.
TWA's cancellations were
also minimal as were those
of European carriers, most of
which are flying at full
capacity in both directions.
Lufthansa spokesman It-
zhak Zaroni and Swissair's
Estee Roehm said that a lot
of Israelis currently abroad
want to come home earlier.
