Low cost from Haifa airport? • Air Haifa company was launched

(haipo) - Soon, it seems, the people of Haifa and the residents of the metropolis will be able to fly at low cost from the airport in Haifa, this after the "Air Haifa" company, which plans to operate all its flights from Haifa, was officially launched in the last few days.


The Haifa low cost company "Air Haifa" was officially launched. The founder and main investor in the company is the Israeli tycoon Nir Tzuk - who founded, among other things, the cyber company "Palo Alto Networks". Other partners in the establishment of the company are Shai Babad - CEO of Strauss, Gonen Osishkin - former CEO of El Al, Miki Strasburger - former VP of aviation relations at El Al, Rafi Danieli - former CEO of Zim, and other people.

"Air Haifa", as can be deduced from its name, is expected, it seems, to take all of its flights out of the Haifa airport. The work model according to which it will be operated is a low-cost model based on outsourcing in terms of external employees, aircraft lease, pilots, flight attendants, ground services and more, with the aim of succeeding under a limited spending budget.

At this stage, the members of "Air Haifa" must act to promote the receipt of an aviation license from the Ministry of Transportation, in order to allow the departure of flights from the Haifa airport.

The members of the board of directors have industry connections in the government, among other things, Shai Babed was responsible for leading the Toto reform when Transport Minister Miri Regev served as the Minister of Sports. Babed was even a partner in building the economic plan of the Likud party in the last Knesset elections.

  1. Until they extend the route there is nothing to talk about. Who wants to fly with propellers? Currently, the flights from Haifa to Cyprus cost twice as much as the flights from Tel Aviv.
    Meanwhile this new one sounds like a bad joke

    • With joy, Uri Sharon. I will celebrate Air Chaima's imaginary flight line for the crew - which will also be leased, with great confidence - in the new surfers' center that Klish promised 5 years ago, the one that Yahav promised 10 years ago. Cheers, oh wait, there isn't one today either.
      Well, I'm moving the celebrations to the Talpiot market building. The one that Yahav showed in the simulation that will be renovated. The one that Klish showed visualizations of the start of the renovation 5 years ago. Oh wait, nothing moved there either.

  2. Lines and planes like the British 100 years ago.
    Are we in 2023 or 1923??
    In Haifa it is sometimes hard to tell.

  3. Dear Eyal. Did you ever respond here in a positive and encouraging tone?

    • Hello Uri Sharon. You probably don't read my comments. All are positive.
      It is hard to condone failed delusional things that are nothing more than a gimmick that is used for political purposes instead of a serious international airport that will put Haifa on the highway. One offers connecting flights from Haifa via Ramon and the other offers connecting flights from Haifa via Cyprus.
      Instead of suppressing the development of Haifa, we deal with trifles. So what's the point of cheering on Koimatisa that the Brits were raking like that 100 years ago? Did you know this Chaya Brewers??

  4. great I wish it would work. It will save a lot for the residents of Haifa, the Kiryat, and the north to come to Israel, where it is always crowded and not pleasant at all. Amen and amen

  5. Kudos to the entrepreneurs who put their money on the deer fund. In the hope that this project will be realized, the citizens who provide land services will be able to profit from it, and in the hope that the entrepreneurs will also be able to profit from it. Because if they don't earn, they won't continue. Good luck and thank you very much.

  6. ridiculous.
    In any case, there is hope for competition, against Air Haifa Hadera Wings, Eta-World and Shafaram Airways are lining up.
