El Al Passengers Get Stuck In Switzerland For Shabbos Due To Fog

Passengers on an El Al flight from Geneva that was scheduled to land at Ben Gurion airport on Friday afternoon were forced to remain in Switzerland until Motzei Shabbos due to the foggy conditions in Geneva, according to a Israel Hayom report.

The pilot on the El Al plane which was supposed to land in Geneva to pick up the passengers wasn’t authorized to land in the thick fog present in Geneva at the time and instead was forced to land in Lyon, France until the fog cleared.

However, by the time the plane arrived in Geneva, it was too late to fly to Israel and land in Ben Gurion before Shabbos. El Al arranged for the passengers to stay at a nearby hotel over Shabbos and fly them out after Shabbos.
