Israel’s flag-carrier El Al resumed a daily LY 2523/2524 rotation between Tel Aviv Ben-Gurion and Prague Václav Havel Airport on 23 February 2026 after a winter schedule of three flights per week. Flight-tracking data show LY2523 departing TLV at 17:45 local and arriving in Prague at 20:55, with the return LY2524 leaving at 22:05 and landing at 02:45 the next morning. The frequency increase follows a 19 % year-on-year rise in Israeli visitor nights in Czechia and strong demand from Czech technology start-ups opening R&D hubs in Tel Aviv. Airport officials said the route is crucial for semiconductor and defence suppliers commuting between the two countries.
