The inaugural flights aim to increase competition and offer new options for travelers on this domestic route. The airline announced the new service two weeks ago, and it is now operational with an introductory offer of fares starting at 79 shekels one-way. These initial prices include only hand luggage, with additional fees for checked bags or carry-on trolleys.
The first flight, E2 403, departed TLV at 11:20 AM, followed by a second flight, E2 407, in the afternoon at 5:45 PM. The flights are operated using ATR 72-600 aircraft and have a flight duration of approximately one hour.
Air Haifa plans to increase the frequency on this route to three flights daily in each direction during November. The airline also offers a flexible cancellation policy, allowing changes or cancellations up to 24 hours before departure for credit towards future flights, valid for two years. This new route launch coincides with Air Haifa's upcoming second anniversary of operations.
Since commencing operations in September 2024, Air Haifa has transported approximately 600,000 passengers across nearly 10,000 flights. The airline recorded a monthly operational record in August, carrying about 61,000 passengers on roughly 880 flights. The new TLV-Eilat route complements Air Haifa's existing services from Haifa, expanding its operations and flight offerings for the Israeli public. The airline currently operates direct flights from Haifa to six destinations, five in Europe and one in Eilat.
