Arkia Airlines Adds Athens Connections for US Flights

Planning a trip to Israel from the US? Here’s some good news about getting here. Arkia Airlines has found a smart solution to recent passenger capacity limits by adding connecting flights through Athens to ensure reliable service to New York.

Due to current Home Front Command guidelines and Transportation Ministry restrictions on passenger quotas, Arkia is now operating connecting flights via Athens. This means your journey to Israel might include a stopover in Greece, but the important thing is you’ll still get to your destination without worrying about last-minute cancellations.

If you’re booked on an Arkia flight, you’ll receive personal notifications with your updated flight details, so keep an eye on your email and phone. The airline is being proactive about keeping passengers informed of any changes to their travel plans.

This is a temporary adjustment that ensures more reliable connections between the US and Israel during these challenging times. While it adds a stop to your journey, it’s better than dealing with cancelled flights when you’re excited to explore Israel!
