More International Airlines Launch New Daily Flights to Tel Aviv

Following the launch of Delta Airlines' March 2008 launch of new daily flights to Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport from New York JFK, several international airlines have debuted new daily flights to Israel. British Midland (www.flybmi.com) recently began daily flights between London's Heathrow and Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airports, with connecting flights to the US and Canada on Star Alliance partner airlines. Czech Airlines (www.czechairlines.com) will also increase its summer service from Prague to Tel Aviv from seven flights per week (in 2007) to 11 flights (in summer 2008). And the Vatican's airline, Opera Romana, is expected to debut six weekly flights from Rome and Verona to Israel, two of which will fly to Ovda Airport in the southern city of Eilat.
