EasyJet, Europe’s leading low-fares airline, celebrated on Monday the launch of its London Luton-Tel Aviv route at Ben-Gurion Airport with the company's top officials and the first 171 passengers arriving on the first flight from London to Tel Aviv.
With 100,000 passengers expected for the first year, EasyJet is operating a brand new Airbus A320 and will be flying six days a week (excluding Fridays).
UK Regional General Manager Paul Simmons said, "As the only low fares airline for the London-Tel Aviv route, EasyJet offers great opportunities to both British and Israeli travellers. With expected 100,000 passengers a year, EasyJet will provide a significant contribution to the Israeli tourism industry."
UK Commercial Manager Sophie Dekkers said, "With such competitive fares, EasyJet's entry to the Israeli market will open a window for many Israelis to discover London and make London more accessible to both business and leisure travellers."
In addition to the London Tel Aviv route, EasyJet introduced 25 new routes across its network over the coming winter.
