Question
Is it permissible for a resident of Israel who is abroad to fly to Israel on the second day of Yom Tov in the Diaspora when there are no other flights?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
If he is in a place where there is no Jewish community within 4 kilometers in any direction, he may fly from there on the second day of Yom Tov.
However, if there is a Jewish community in that area, it is forbidden.
