Eretz Air continues to grow, leasing a second 757 to start operations in India, flying to Delhi daily.
We have also added new routes, with Adana as our fourth destination in Türkiye, Alexandria our second in Egypt, Kalamata our fifth in Greece, Krakow our second in Poland and Venice our third in Italy.
There’s also a new country where we operate, flying to Brussels in Belgium daily.
That elevates our total destination count to 46 in 28 different countries across 3 continents.

Eretz Air has big news to share! We have leased our first 747-300 airplane to start non-stop flights from our hub at Ben Gurion airport to JFK airport in New York!
That’s right, our first plane will allow us to start transatlantic flights and arrive at the USA for the first time in our history, 3x weekly. As soon as we lease more of this aircraft type, we’ll increase our frequency. We will be offering the usual Business and Economy cabins, and we will be introducing our First Class on this flight.
That’s not the only news, as per usual we have many new routes and destinations, now flying to 60 destinations in 40 different countries across 4 continents.
We have also returned all regional Fokker F28 planes to their respective lessors. All the flights have been reprogrammed to McDonnell Douglas MD-81 aircraft
