  • Israir, controlled by businessman Rami Levy, is offering winter flights starting at $99 one-way.
  • Promotional fares are available for select European destinations until the end of March.

Businessman Rami Levy, through his control of the airline Israir, is launching a significant winter marketing campaign offering special prices on flights to popular European destinations. Tickets will start at $99 per person one-way for select cities like Budapest, Batumi, Rome, and Varna, and $129 for others including Berlin, Munich, Baku, and Madrid. These promotional fares are valid for travel until the end of March on selected dates and can be booked directly on the company's website or through travel agents.

This initiative aligns with Levy's broader strategy of disrupting markets, a concept he applied to the food industry and is now extending to aviation. Levy acquired controlling interest in Israir in early 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, injecting private capital to stabilize the company and leading it to a successful IPO on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. His business empire, "Rami Levy Hashikma Marketing," is valued in the billions of shekels and includes supermarket chains, a communications company, a pharmacy chain, a coffee shop chain, and real estate ventures.

Levy recently stated in an interview that his personal net worth is approximately 6 billion shekels, emphasizing that despite wealth differences, people can still feel equal in shared experiences like dining out.
