Very few airlines operate flights to Israel and those operating in Israel do so less frequently than we were used to seeing before Corona. However, there are those who really have to fly for various reasons and are willing to pay for it quite a bit.

Currently, those who rent private planes are mostly affluent businessmen, but due to the situation, the interest also comes from holidaymakers who are willing to pay a little more to fly quietly. We looked at how much a private jet will cost, whether anyone can do it and whether it pays off even for those who just want to indulge in a luxurious vacation with their friends or family.

Elad Levy, Managing Director of Lauper Aviation, which provides such services, told Israel today, "There is a hundreds of percent increase in demand for private flights, although this is still a very low number. The options are limited for commercial companies and those who really have to fly and can afford to do This is mainly business people, but interest from travelers is growing and it is entirely possible. "

"An airplane's hourly flight costs roughly between $ 6,000-7,000 per plane. There are eight people that can accommodate eight, and some can accommodate 12 and 20 passengers, all depending on passengers' requirements. Dollars per person toward and in Greece or Bulgaria about $ 750-1,000 per passenger. "

While this is significantly higher than what we would pay for a flight to one of the upcoming destinations, it turns out that there are quite a few Israelis who would be willing to pay a few thousand more to experience the flight experience on a private executive plane with their relatives.

Cava Group also offers a similar service with private jet flights. The prices offered by the company are slightly higher. One way flight to Vienna in Austria will cost you € 3,333 per person, private flight to Zurich will cost € 3,999 per person, flight to Athens will cost € 2,799 per passenger and flight to Larnaca will cost € 1,799 per passenger. Flights include meals and transfers.
