Arkia Israeli Airlines has exciting news for travelers between Tel Aviv and New York JFK! Starting February 9, 2024, they will be offering direct flights three times a week, thanks to a new partnership with TechAir, a technology startup company fostering connections between Israeli entrepreneurs and their US counterparts.

The flights, operated by a leased Airbus A330-900neo from Iberojet, will provide convenient travel options for those in the high-tech industry needing to meet clients in the US. With tickets starting at $1,199 for a roundtrip in economy class, including perks like checked luggage allowance and meals, Arkia aims to address the demand for flights between Israel and the US while offering competitive pricing.

Arkia CEO Oz Berlowitz shared his excitement, calling the launch of the Tel Aviv-New York route a significant milestone in the airline's commitment to serving the Israeli public. While Arkia may not have aircraft capable of the long-haul journey themselves, their partnership with Iberojet ensures passengers a comfortable and seamless travel experience.

The new service comes at a time when other major airlines have suspended direct flights due to recent events, leaving travelers with limited options and soaring fares. Arkia's initiative not only fills a gap in the market but also demonstrates their dedication to providing reliable aviation solutions even in challenging times.

For those eager to explore the vibrant tech scene of Israel or seal deals in the Big Apple, Arkia's new direct flights offer a convenient and affordable way to traverse the globe. With the promise of flexible travel and top-notch service, this partnership between Arkia and TechAir is set to make waves in the world of international air travel.
