Arkia Airlines announced an increase in baggage fees for international flights starting July 1. A suitcase weighing up to 20 kg will cost $45 when pre-booked, up from the current $40, each way. A trolley suitcase (up to 8 kg) will cost $20 when pre-booked, up from $15, while airport purchase prices will increase from $20 to $25. Arkia emphasized that "the new prices will apply based on when the baggage is purchased - not the flight date." According to the company, the price increase is due to "general rises in operational costs in the international aviation market."
