Meanwhile, British low-cost company easyJet will end its service from Tel Aviv to Rome in February, when it closes its hub in the Italian capital. This will lead to the cancellation of additional easy-Jet routes from Rome to different destinations in Europe.
The company explained that it had decided to close its hub in Rome due to the tough competition against other airlines and said it planned to focus on its other destinations in Italy: Milan (from where it operates flights to Tel Aviv as well) and Naples.
EasyJet began flying from Rome to Tel Aviv in September 2013 and currently operates two weekly flights on the route.
