Rami Levy and Israir in a historic move: towards a revolution in flights to the USA
Israir has completed all requirements and received flight permits to operate routes to North America, with ticket sales expected to open shortly.
The Israeli airline Israir, owned by businessman Rami Levy, announced on Monday a significant strategic milestone in its operations. Over the past weekend, the company received approval from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to operate regular and commercial flights to the United States.
Receiving FAA approval constitutes the final and decisive stage in the regulatory process, joining previous authorizations granted by aviation authorities in Israel and the USA. Consequently, the airline has effectively met all requirements and secured the flight permits needed to operate air routes to North America. This historic move marks a significant milestone for the industry, as increased competition on routes to the USA may boost supply and lower prices.
The company notes that operational preparations are complete, and ticket sales for flights to the USA are expected to open very soon. Israir stated:
«Receiving the FAA approval is a historic moment for the company and a major consumer announcement for the Israeli public. This is an expression of international trust from the American aviation authority in the quality, safety, and operational reliability of the company. We are excited to expand our map of destinations to North America, increase competition in the market, and provide our customers with quality service at competitive prices.»
