Tel Aviv... What an idea

This adds another difficult destination in terms of pax to our list. But as always, let's wait until there is some confirmed news about this

Just for the non-belgians:

Belgian is not a language. As a matter of fact, we have 3 languages: Dutch, French and German. So no Belgian language at all.

What blackhawk meant was: "in Dutch".

"Belgian" regards

Indeed, but 'Belgisch' (Belgian) has been mentionned once in a Google job advertisement.

And now back on topic guys and girl!

What do you mean? Difficult pax or difficult loadfactor?

Both, but the loadfactor wasn't my first concern. I was talking about the pax who are very difficult on this destination. When Sabena still was flying, the Tel Aviv flight wasn't popular at all with the crews. I don't know how it is these days with Brussels Airlines, but i imagine it is still the same case.

As you pointed out Spotter 22, the loadfactor will be another question. As Jetairfly is a lowcost or charter company, who will fly with us to Tel Aviv? My guess is that we won't fill a 734 on this route...

Also, I understand security is very rigid at Tel Aviv airport?

Strange, I heard Aqaba, Jordan as a new destination internally but nothing about Tel Aviv. (Sobelair used to fly there too) Ah well, we'll see...

Found in the article: "The airline will operate Boeing 737-700 passenger planes, which have a seating capacity of 150."

Euhm

Since when are we talking about getting one or more 737-700's?

I would love to fly to Aqaba! It is a really beautiful destination. I flew there in my time with VEX as well (although it was always Aqaba-SSH and thus a very long working day)!
Loved the scenery around the airport (as I didn't get the chance to look any further

)

Tel Aviv I'm not so crazy about though

In "Le Soir" this morning, from his correspondent in Tel-Aviv :

Representatives of Jetairfly and TUI group will meet with the Israelian Ministry of Tourism next month, in order to finalize the agreement about a low-cost line Liège - Tel Aviv.
The flights should begin during this winter season, twice weekly.
The Israelian State will make up for the loss if there are too much unsold seats. But if the traffic is good, three weekly flights would be allowed.

The Israelian government has an "open sky" plan for the LCC. The old terminal at Ben Gourion airport (idle for two years) will be readied for them.

CAL, an Israelian freigh carrier, is already flying to Bierset since 1996.

TUI-fly is flying to Tel-Aviv from Cologne. So it seems to be a TUI destination and is probable from Belgium although I don't see the potential at first sight...

Cologne and Liège are only 1h15 away, but I guess it's good to have a foot in the belgian market.

Israel has been the most popular destination for the last 40 centuries. Other target group than Bodrum or Ibiza of course but i guess it won't cause trouble to fill a 737 (2 or 3 times weekly).
Anyway i heard it's a very nice country, good luck to the crew that will serve the kosher meals...
