(JNS) Israeli national carrier El Al announced on Tuesday the gifting of free airline tickets to Europe to IDF soldiers who have served in the ongoing war against Hamas.

“As a company that enlisted in the national effort at the very beginning of the war, we feel it is our obligation to give back to those who contributed to the country and defense during this period,” according to a statement by El Al.

Soldiers are eligible for the free tickets if they spent 30 or more days on active service since the October 7 massacre and are existing members of or join the airline's frequent flyer club. Those qualifying will only need to pay airport taxes.

Registration to receive the coupon code for the free flights is open until February 26 or until stocks last, according to the company, and can be redeemed until February 29 for flights departing Israel any time between May 5, 2024, and Feb. 17, 2025.

The possible destinations are Vienna, Austria; Thessaloniki or Athens, Greece; Sofia, Bulgaria; Paphos or Larnaca, Cyprus; Budapest, Hungary; Bucharest, Romania; or Zurich, Switzerland.

Following Hamas' October 7 assault, Israeli carriers, including El Al, added flights to accommodate the influx of reservists converging on the country due to the mobilization of some 360,000 troops.

One El Al plane that arrived at Ben-Gurion Airport on October 24 wasn’t filled with passengers or suitcases. The charter flight—which was delivering medical supplies—placed photos of hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza on the seats.

The news comes as the director general of Israel's Tourism Ministry on Tuesday called on US companies to restore flights to the Jewish state despite the ongoing war against Hamas.

“As a symbol of the unbreakable friendship between the American and Israeli peoples, I am truly hopeful that the U.S. airlines will soon restore their flights to Israel,” Danny Shahar said during a meeting in Jerusalem with delegates from the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.
