ISRAEL (VINnews) — A new international airline is set to launch out of Haifa. Transportation Minister Miri Regev has approved plans for the new commercial airline, Air Haifa, according to Israel’s Channel 12.

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.
Why not? I wish them much success.
It’s run by the sumos who were kicked out of elal – no thanks
