Air Canada Appoints New Israel Manager – Good News for Travelers

January 6, 2026

Great news for travelers considering Air Canada for their Israel trip! The airline has appointed Shmulik Cohen as their new Israel manager, taking over from Ruth Ben Tzur who recently retired from the position.

Cohen brings solid experience to the role – he’s been Air Canada’s commercial manager in Israel for the past six years, so he knows the market inside and out. Rocky Lo, Air Canada’s international sales manager, announced the appointment during a recent visit to Israel, saying he’s proud to have Shmulik continue leading their Israeli market operations.

This kind of local leadership continuity is actually good news for travelers. It means Air Canada remains committed to the Israeli market and maintaining strong service for passengers flying between Canada and Israel. If you’re planning a trip from North America, Air Canada offers direct flights from Toronto and Montreal to Ben Gurion Airport.
