After Five Months: Easy-Jet, the Low-Cost Giant, Returned to Israel
The EasyJet airline resumed its flights to and from Israel, slashing ticket prices
A fter five months: the low-cost giant EasyJet resumed its flights to and from Israel. During April 2024, the company flies only to London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Geneva, Basel and Milan. Flights to the other destinations should return this October. As mentioned, the airline stopped flying to Israel with the outbreak of the war and
was supposed to return about a week ago, but the date was postponed. Easy-Jet finally returned to Israel on March 25th, 2024. However, as months passed, while foreign airlines began trickling back, and gradually - the prices, which soared during that period, started to fall to more manageable levels. An analysis, by Israeli
website Secret Flights, shows that price differences for various destinations can reach down more than half – mostly thanks to East-Jet. Just one
example, price of a flight to Amsterdam before Easy-jet’s return: $610 (El Al). Price after Easy-jet’s return: $407. The difference: 34%.
