BMI is launching daily flights to Tel Aviv from London Heathrow next spring.
The addition of Tel Aviv to the airline’s growing medium-haul network from Heathrow has been made possible thanks to an agreement between the UK and Israeli governments allowing the designation of a second UK and Israeli airline on routes between London and Tel Aviv.
BMI's chief executive, Nigel Turner, said: “I congratulate both the UK and Israeli Governments in recognising the need to bring wider competition to air travel between the two countries.
“BMI will be bringing to this market its reputation of delivering a superior product, both on the ground and in the air, for business and leisure traveller alike, as well as a range of highly competitive fares. Travellers choosing to fly with us will also benefit from flying with Heathrow’s most punctual airline.
“The opportunity to be part of the growing business links and ties between the UK and Israel is extremely exciting and we shall look forward to playing our part in widening the competitive air links between the two countries, and the economic growth that this has historically achieved."
The launch of flights to Tel Aviv will increase the total number of destinations served by BMI from Heathrow to 39.
