Private flights profit from Israel s closed skies
With few options for getting in and out of Israel, Globes discovers that private flights might be more affordable than you think.
The Covid-19 pandemic and the closure of Israel s skies have seen a jump in the number of private flights. The departures board for private flights from Ben Gurion airport last week included such destinations as Larnaca, Amman, Sharm el-Sheikh, Istanbul, Kiev, Amsterdam, Moscow, Cologne, and Basel. The passengers are not necessarily fantastically rich and in many cases just rank and file citizens, needing to get in and out of Israel, and compelled to pay a fare, which was several times or more higher than a scheduled commercial flight.
