Arkia's long-haul flight routes have been unprofitable, leading to expectations that the airline will reduce these operations or decrease their frequency. Industry professionals anticipate that the company will need to sell two narrow-body aircraft to mitigate financial losses. To generate immediate cash flow, Arkia is currently offering deals and discounts on flights scheduled for 2027.
