Israeli airline launches limited direct flight from Luton to Eilat
Israir offering charter flight from London Luton to Eilat Ramon airport between 24 December and 1 January
One of Israel’s three major airlines is launching a rare direct flight between the UK and Eilat for one week this winter.
The Israir flight will operate between Luton Airport and Eilat Ramon airport between Christmas Eve, Sunday 24th December and Monday 1st January 2024.
The outgoing journey leaves London at 1030 arriving in Israel at 1735 and returns New Year’s Day at 16:00, landing back in the UK at 19:50.
Anthony Gothold, managing director of Hendon-based travel company Travelink told Jewish News he expects the flight to sell out quickly because of the ideal dates and convenient daytime schedules as well as prices which are across the board lower than last year despite the relatively weak rate of the pound.
“Each time direct flights are offered on limited dates we see a lot of interest,” he said.
Packages are on offer with a range of hotels including Isrotel’s Royal Garden, Astral’s Aria, The Queen of Sheba, Dan Panorama, Neptune and the Leonardo Plaza and Royal Resort both from the Fattal chain.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
