Israeli airline Air Haifa is set to launch a new route between Haifa and Athens, with flights commencing on Thursday, January 2, 2025. According to the company's website, the airline will operate five weekly flights on this route throughout January.
Air Haifa currently operates three daily flights to Larnaca, Cyprus and two daily flights to Eilat.
The addition of the Athens route marks another milestone in the airline's growth as it seeks to expand its regional footprint.
Starting December 22, Air Haifa will begin operating flights from its home base at Haifa Airport, fulfilling its original plan when operations began in September 2024.
The airline initially had to relocate operations to Ben Gurion Airport due to the temporary closure of Israeli airspace in the northern region. Now, with conditions stabilizing, Air Haifa is ready to return to Haifa Airport as its primary hub.
Despite the airline’s expansion plans, sources within the aviation industry remain skeptical about the feasibility of operating from Haifa Airport, citing concerns about the airport's infrastructure and its ability to support a successful airline hub.
However, Air Haifa appears confident in its strategy, banking on the convenience and regional appeal of Haifa Airport to attract travelers.
