The airline’s destinations will include Eilat, Cyprus, Greece and Turkey, and it is expected to bring down the cost of pricey short-haul flights for residents of northern Israel.

For example, the current cost of flights from Haifa to Cyprus, a popular tourist destination, is about twice as much as from Ben Gurion, Channel 12 said. The new airline is expected to lessen the disparity.

A website for Air Haifa says it will “operate nonstop low-cost services to a variety of regional destinations.”

Haifa Airport resumed international flights in June after a four-year hiatus – just a few months before the announcement of “Air Haifa” opening.

Flights are expected to begin next year.

The good thing is, the pilots are wearing their flimsy disposable masks properly.
