Arkia

With the approval of the operation of additional flights from Terminal 1 at Ben Gurion from the Transportation Ministry, the additional flights may operate as soon as May 2025.

Israel’s second-largest airline expands international operations with new premium service.

The airline will fly to 11 Greek destinations, including Volos, Skiathos, and Kalamata, and expand to Albania, Hungary, and Croatia. Passover offer: 20% off all destinations except New York.

Arkia will fly to 30 destinations—seven of them new in Europe and one in New York, where flights will continue beyond the originally planned May schedule.

For the first time, Arkia launches a direct, competitively priced route to New York. We flew on their inaugural flight to see if this new option can compete with major airlines.

The new line of Arkia was launched in order to address both the severe shortage of flights between Israel and the United States and the increasingly prohibitive costs of tickets.

With Israeli aviation leaders and U.S. Embassy officials present, Arkia launches a direct New York route with three weekly flights to address the U.S. flight shortage.

Israeli airlines suspend Paphos flights over unspecified security concerns, redirecting passengers to Larnaca instead.

The flights will launch on February 8 and continue through May three times per week, costing $1,199 for a round-trip flight, including luggage, two meals, and drinks.

Israeli companies in the fields of agriculture, water management, information technology, health, communications, and defense are active in the south-central African country of Zambia.
