Israir Gets $35M for New Wide-Body Aircraft – More Flight Options

Good news for travelers planning trips to Israel – Israir is expanding its fleet with new wide-body aircraft that could mean more flight options in the future.

The Israeli airline just secured a $35 million advance payment deal with Issta (a major Israeli travel company) to help finance new Airbus A330 aircraft. Here’s how it works: Issta gets 40 seats allocated on each commercial flight for the next ten years, while Israir gets the funding boost they need for these larger planes.

While we’re still waiting for official launch dates for these new aircraft, this expansion could eventually mean more capacity and potentially better pricing on flights to Israel. The A330s are wide-body planes that can handle long-haul international routes – exactly what’s needed for bringing more visitors to Israel.
