EL AL began Luton-Tel Aviv services

According to EL AL CEO Haim Romano a traveler with only hand luggage can be out of the airport terminal within 10 minutes of disembarking
 
EL AL, Israel’s flag carrier, began last week operating flights 6 times a week from London Luton to Tel Aviv.
 
EL AL flights depart London Luton from Sunday to Thursday at 12.15 and arrive in Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport at 19.05. On Fridays the departure is at 09.45 with arrival at 16.35. The return flight, LY 213, will leave Tel Aviv Sunday to Thursday at 07.30 arriving at 10.50. On a Friday the flight arrives at London Luton at 08.50.
 
According to spokesman of London Luton Airport the demand for the service has been very strong mainly due to the fact that the Airport road and rail access are now better than ever with the completion of the M1 motorway widening, dual carriageway link to the airport and excellent rail services to central London.
 
EL AL service to Tel Aviv is highly exciting as it provides connecting flights to Mumbai, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, Beijing and Bangkok.
 
EL AL CEO Haim Romano suggested that the new route to Luton airport will be highly convenient for businessmen; it takes off at 7:30 A.M. Tel Aviv time. He also noted that the new route's passengers will be fast-tracked at Luton. A traveler with only hand luggage can be out of the airport terminal within 10 minutes of disembarking.
