After weeks of almost no flights - Wiz Air returns to Israel • The first line will be in Vienna next week
The sky opens? The first Low Coast company to return its passenger flights to Israel is the Hungarian company "Wiz Air", one of the most active companies in Israel before the Corona era. The first line to begin operating on May 1 will be Tel Aviv-Vienna.
The company has announced a return to activity from next week and will fly to 20 destinations in 15 countries including Dortmund (Germany), Athens (Greece), Rome (Italy), Valencia (Spain), Larnaca (Cyprus), Kotasi (Georgia), Kiev (Ukraine), Warsaw (Poland), Varna (Bulgaria) and other destinations.
Weiz Air have announced that they will keep all social remoteness rules as strict as possible, strict hygiene rules. The crew on the plane will wear masks and wear gloves throughout the flight. Passengers will receive cleaning cloths, a campaign that raises awareness of cleaning and adherence to the rules will be passed on flights and there will be the possibility and encouragement of all possible actions over the Internet including check-in, seat selection, suitcase and any other action that can be done without meeting people.
The decision by the Loucoast Company is mainly due to the excellent situation in Austria, the data also encourages in countries such as Spain and Italy, where there is a significant reduction in the number of infected and victims and the realization that the virus will not disappear soon and we have to live by it.
At present, it is unclear whether Austrian tourists will be able to enter Israel without the need for isolation. At present, tourists cannot enter Israel at all and Israeli citizens who arrive in the country must enter a controlled isolation in a hotel for 14 days. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today held talks with Kanzer Austria and other leaders from Denmark, the Czech Republic, Greece, New Zealand and other countries, during which the Austrian raised the possibility of opening a circle of countries that are well-versed in the Corona challenge and will allow them to move between them. It is currently unclear whether the decision to open the line is a continuation of that conversation.
Rainier and EasyJet, two other Luccost companies that were very active before the Corona period in Israel, have already announced that all their planes will be grounded by the end of May. Currently, there is no expectation of an advance date for these two companies, but may be back in June.
British Airways has returned Tel Aviv to its flight schedule as of May 1. Air Baltic is expected to return to Israel In July, Air Canada in early June, there are reports that Delta is considering a return flight to Israel and United is looking into the possibility of increasing the frequency of flights to Israel.
