    The Canadian flag carrier is renewing daily flights to Israel from Toronto, although service from Montreal will only resume in the spring.

    International carriers planning to restore service to Israel this month include British Airways, Iberia, the German low-cost carrier Eurowings, and Scandinavian Airlines.

    The return to Israel of Europe’s biggest low-cost carrier, Ryanair, has been pushed off indefinitely due to a dispute with the Israel Airports Authority over regaining its past flight slots.

    The move also comes as Ryanair rival Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air is set to open a hub in Israel next year, which is expected to shake up the aviation market and dramatically bring down airfares.

    Who needs these fair weather friends? Because of Canada’s threatening to arrest Bibi, he has to fly on a longer circuitous route, to avoid Canadian air space, whenever he flies to the USA, and back. Therefore, Air Canada, and United should also be told that they can stay home, since there have been reports of discrimination against Jewish passengers by United.
