The airline will operate the
route three times per week.
Mr. Yariv Levin, Minister of Tourism - Israel,
said, “Air India Chairman Lohani was deeply impressed with his
visit to Israel and, in his own words, is convinced that the many
Indian tourists who will visit Israel will find it an exceptional
tourism destination. There is no doubt that the opening of the
route, combined with our marketing efforts in India, will generate
a significant increase in incoming tourism from India.”
The Israel Ministry of Tourism established their

Israel has grown by 28%.
Regarding the growth in the India market,
Mr. Hassan Madah, Director of the Israel Ministry of Tourism in

influx of arrivals to Israel in 2017.”
