    The airline hopes the warm Israeli weather will attract Finnish tourists to hop on a hot vacation in the southern resort city of Eilat or other locations in the Holy Land.
    At this point, the flights will be operating until March, which will actually allow Israeli passengers to fly to Finland and enjoy the Finnish winter in search of the aurora borealis, or northern lights. Finnair will operate a weekly flight on Tuesdays onboard an Airbus A321 airliner.
    In addition, the low-cost Dutch airline Transavia also began operating direct flights to Orly Airport in Paris.
