For the first time, a budget airline is offering flights to Israel. The new route, offered by Thomsonfly, , will fly three times a week between Manchester and Tel Aviv starting on November 1. While Thomsonfly is also offering new routes to other European cities, they seem particularly excited about the new Israel-offering: “Our decision to launch into Tel Aviv will satisfy the huge demand for direct flights to this exciting Israeli city,” said Guy Stephenson, Thomsonfly’s commercial director. “Tel Aviv has a growing reputation as a stylish and lively choice for city breaks, but also as an important destination for cultural exchanges between schools and religious groups, religious and history-based leisure breaks, visiting friends and relatives, and as a place for doing business.”
Aidan Mooney, Manchester Airport’s head of aviation development, also noted the new flights to Tel Aviv: “Tel Aviv is an important addition for this winter.”
So what are you waiting for? Catch the next budget flight out of Manchester (or Luton if that help you, wherever that is), and come see the bright lights of Tel Aviv, and golden walls of Jerusalem!
