El Al Airlines announced that it will restart flights this winter between Tel Aviv and the southern resort city of Eilat, marking the first time in more than ten years that the route will be back in operation.
Beginning October 21, Israel’s national airline will run two daily flights on the Tel Aviv-Eilat route — one in the morning and another in the evening — “despite complex operational challenges.”
One-way fares will begin at NIS 139 (approximately $41) and will include both a trolley and a backpack. Residents of Eilat will have access to subsidized tickets priced at NIS 99 per trip.
The decision to resume service to Eilat follows a request from the Transportation Ministry and is part of a broader initiative to boost the number of flights on the domestic route, improving connectivity between the Red Sea resort city and central Israel.
