Fri, 02 Nov, 2007
Low-cost airline Thomsonfly yesterday made its maiden flight on the new route between London Luton Airport and Tel Aviv.
The three times a week service will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, with tickets available from £139.98 return including all taxes and surcharges.
Guy Stephenson, Thomsonfly's commercial director, said the airline had decided to launch the new service because of growing demand for services to the Israeli city.
Tel Aviv is a stylish modern city popular with tourists, religious groups, historians and businessmen, explained Mr Stephenson.
He added: "We are excited that our new low-cost, high-frequency flights will make it easier and more viable for many who have longed to visit Israel."
This week also saw SkyEurope Airlines commence flying on four new routes out of London Luton Airport.
One of the new services goes to the popular city break destination of Prague in the Czech Republic, while the others link Luton to the Slovakian cities of Bratislava, Kosice and Poprad.
