Amid uncertainty in Israel's aviation market, Arkia continues its expansion, announcing a new direct flight route to Paris. Starting November 13, the airline, which operates a fleet of eight aircraft, will begin three weekly flights to France’s capital on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Tickets, now available for purchase, range between $700 and $900.

The new flights to Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) are scheduled at convenient times for both the Israeli and French markets, with departures from Tel Aviv at 4:00 p.m. and return flights from Paris at 11:00 a.m. Paris joins Arkia’s impressive list of European destinations, which includes Milan with four weekly flights, Budapest with five, Vienna with four, Rome with six, and Prague with three weekly flights. The airline also offers daily flights to Athens, Larnaca, and Dubai, along with regular flights to Tbilisi and Batumi.

“As foreign airlines reduce their activities, Arkia steps up to provide a stable and accessible schedule, with a wide selection of destinations in Europe,” explains Einat Yunger Carmeli, Arkia’s VP of Marketing and Digital. “Now more than ever, it's advantageous to fly with an Israeli airline that understands the needs of Israeli travelers and provides a safe, reliable flight experience. Our fleet is prepared to safely transport our customers to key destinations and bring them back with peace of mind.”

Another advantage offered by Arkia is convenient connection options via Vienna and Rome to destinations in North and South America, providing an alternative solution for travelers seeking to reach these regions in the current climate.
