Question
Is it permitted to land abroad on Isru Chag Sukkot (when it is their second day of Yom Tov)? Thank you very much in advance!
Answer
Shalom and blessings
You need to check if there is a nearby Jewish community close to the airport.
If there is no Jewish community within 4 km, it is permitted to land there. This is because a Jew who is abroad in a place where there is no nearby Jewish community does not need to observe the second day of Yom Tov.
It should be noted that for this reason, even if there is no community near the airport, it is forbidden to travel during Yom Tov to an area where there is a Jewish community.
