Israir Adds Wide-Body Aircraft: Better Flight Options to Israel

Great news for travelers planning trips to Israel! Israir Airlines is expanding its fleet with wide-body Airbus A330 aircraft, which could mean more flight options and potentially better prices for international visitors.

Here’s what’s happening: Israir has secured a $35 million advance to help finance these new aircraft acquisitions. As part of the financing deal, travel company Issta will receive 40 seats on each commercial A330 flight for the next ten years. This arrangement could lead to more competitive pricing on flights to Israel, especially during peak travel seasons.

While we’re still waiting for official launch dates for these new aircraft operations, this expansion represents Israir’s commitment to growing international routes. The A330s will offer more comfortable long-haul flights with additional capacity, which is excellent news for travelers flying from North America, Europe, and other distant destinations to Israel.
