Israeli airline El Al said it doubled its net profit in the second quarter of the current year. The company attributed this to an improvement after the initial impact of the war with the Islamic Republic.

Meanwhile, the sharp increase in jet fuel costs had put airline companies under challenge.

The company’s seasonal net profit reached $132 million, compared with $66 million last year. Revenue also rose from $777 million to $986 million. El Al said the loss caused by the war was $55 million.
