US Airways plans Philadelphia-Tel Aviv service
Nonstop service set to begin in July 2009 with first tickets sold early next month
US Airways announced Tuesday plans to operate nonstop service between its Philadelphia hub and Tel Aviv, as the carrier moves to expand its international service.
The service, which is set to begin in July 2009 with the first tickets sold early next month, is in response to strong demand, said Michelle Mohr, a spokeswoman for US Airways.
"What's being cut is unprofitable flying in light of ultra high fuel costs," she said. "With Philadelphia-to-Tel Aviv we've known the demand is there. We've talked about adding this for quite some time."
The service is subject to approval by the US Department of Transportation and Israeli government.
