Arkia to launch 2 Israel - India routes
11 Feb, 2019
Israeli airline Arkia Airlines Ltd. today announced that it would introduce flights to two destinations in India: Goa and Cochin in the state of Kerala.
Arkia will operate the new flights from September 2019 using recently acquired Airbus 321neoLR airliners. Flights will take seven hours and will take place all year round, except for the summer in Israel, which is the monsoon season in India.
The flight to Goa will take off on Tuesdays, while there will be two weekly flights to Cochin. Flights will take off on Mondays and Fridays in September-October, and on Sundays and Thursdays starting on October 27.
Since the frequency of the flights does not meet the criteria for obtaining grants from the Ministry of Tourism for operating flights to new destinations, Arkia will not receive a grant.
Sales of tickets for the flights will begin on March 24. Arkia stated that prices would begin at $250 in each direction to and from Cochin and $300 in each direction to and from Goa.
Arkia CEO Nir Dagan said that the airline would offer direct access "to preferred destinations at equal prices for everyone… For India, the state of Kerala, and the destinations that we selected have been the dream of Israelis from all parts of the tourist spectrum."
Arkia International CEO Oz Berlowitz added, "In addition to the organized tours and vacations, Arkia will also offer continuation flights to a variety of Far Eastern destinations." _________________ 11000 posts (and counting) on Airliners-India.

Good for them. Plus they should get some Christian traffic from both Goa and Cochin. Wish Jet would start BOM-TLV using a 737Max assuming they get Saudi overflight rights like AI did. |
