Over the weekend, Israir received FAA (U.S. Federal Aviation Administration) approval to operate scheduled and commercial flights to the United States.

 

Receiving this approval constitutes the final and decisive stage in the regulatory process, joining previous approvals the company received from aviation authorities in Israel and the U.S.

 

The company notes that operational preparations have been completed, and ticket sales for flights to North America are expected to open very soon.

 

Israir stated: "Receiving FAA approval is a historic moment for the company and great consumer news for the Israeli public. This is an international expression of confidence by the American aviation authority in Israir's quality, safety, and operational reliability. We are excited to expand our destination map to North America, increase market competition, and provide our customers with high-quality service at competitive prices."
