Dear Customers, 
Wishing you and your loved ones a happy Passover and quiet, safe days.
Below is an updated daily status report regarding the activity of the supply chain in Israel, derived from the regional security situation.
Flights to and from Israel are operated by Israeli airlines, therefore cargo capacity is limited and prices are high.
The use of rescue flights adds capacity and leads to a gradual reduction in transit times.
In addition, cooperation with foreign airlines and charter flights improves the range of solutions and connectivity to/from major destinations worldwide.
