Israir Gets Green Light for U.S. Flights
Israeli budget carrier Israir has received final FAA authorization to begin scheduled passenger service to the United States.
TL;DR
The airline plans to connect Tel Aviv with New York, with ticket sales expected to begin soon and operations potentially starting by October 19. This adds a new competitor to the U.S.-Israel market, which is currently served by El Al, Arkia, and major U.S. carriers.
