At the end of last week, the low -cost airline of Hungaran Wizz Air resumed flights to Israel for the first time in three months.
The Tok airline is an important step towards Israel by presenting its renwal of Israel operations after the airplanes had already been assigned to other destinations. The sources say that Wizz Air made important changes in his flight schedules to divert the airplanes to Israel.
The return to operations at Ben Gurion airport will be gradual. Last weekend, the airline begged five weekly flights to each of Budapest and Larnaca. On August 22, the airline route to London Luton will be renewed, with five flights a week. On September 1, additional routes will be added to Vienna, Sofia, Rome and Milan, each with three or four flights per week. The route to Bucharest will also be added with five flights per week and the route to IASI with two flights per week. As of September 15, flights to Athens, Crete, Rhodes, Warsaw, Vilnius, Lorraine and Krakow will also resume. The flights to Cluj and Naples will be renewed on October 27 and 28, respectively.
How are you going to the influence of Wizz Air?
The resumption of Wizz Air’s services to Israel should help reduce rates by increasing the supply of plane tickets when demand is in its peak.

For example, according to Ophir Tours data, Wizz Air offers last-minute round trip tickets to Budapest in August for $ 248, compared to $ 327-536 that Israeli airlines request $ 327-536. For flights to the duration of London, Wizz Air’s round trip rates cost $ 558, compared to $ 977- $ 2,624 for its Israeli competitors. The gap is also significant for tickets for Vienna: $ 558 versus $ 586-1.390. This gap is due, among other things, to the fact that

On the other hand, on shorter routes, where competition is more significant, the image changes. On flights to Larnaca at the end of August, for example, Wizz Air rates are lower ($ 140 versus $ 198-164), but the higher holiday rates are similar to Arkia ($ 400 versus $ 308-442). On flights to Sofia, rates are identical ($ 390 in Wizzir and Arkia).
Wizz Air’s return comes when the airline seeks to establish a regional center in Israel. The Minister of Israel or the transport of Miri Regev supports the idea, while the civil aviation authority opposes such at Ben Gurion airport, due to the possible damage to Israeli airlines. Regev will be anxious to please the voting public, because this center would reduce the rates to and from Israel, but it will be a great pressure of the Israeli airlines and the committees of its workers.
The government is also considering allowing Wizz Air Vuele to Airpuerto de Ben Gurion and Eilat, including compensation if the airline cannot fill flights.
