JERUSALEM: On Sunday, Haifa International Airport reopened its domestic and international planes after months of being closed by the conflict.
Transportation Minister Miri Regev called the restarting of Haifa Airport” a further step up to routine, growth, and strengthening the north region.” ” This is a historic moment for Jewish aviation: After 30 years, a new Jewish aircraft is joining, connecting North to South in the heart of the’ Connecting Israel ‘ perspective”.
The newly established airline, Air Haifa, inaugurated its services with a virgin trip to Eilat, followed by its first international flight to Larnaca, Cyprus, after in the day.
Beginning January 2, the flight will start offering five regular flights to Athens.
” We’re very excited to start operating out of Haifa Airport.” It is crucial to develop the area and offer the people of the northern aircraft services that they have been waiting for for many years during this time,” said Air Haifa CEO Gonen Ussishkin.
The Airports Authority recently completed substantial improvements to Haifa Airport’s facilities, with opportunities totalling tens of millions of pounds. The then 1,300-meter runway was completely overhauled to meet global safety standards, genetic screening stations were installed, and the passenger terminal was upgraded.
The Transportation Ministry set up a strong 15-minute shuttle service that connects the aircraft to Israel Railways, the subway, the Haifa cable automobile, and a planned spectacular light rail line to Nazareth in order to increase accessibility.
” The previous time was no easy”, said Airports Authority Sharon Kedmi. Haifa Airport had to temporarily halt activities. The airport’s returning to operation once more demonstrates the resilience of the northern area and its ability to develop and grow despite all the difficulties. I’m convinced that Air Haifa may help us achieve a future where Haifa may become a major aviation hub, connecting everyone to the outside world and contributing to social and economic prosperity.
