New flight to connect Hungary with Israel
According to Airportal, the first Israir flight connecting Debrecen and Tel Aviv is scheduled to depart on 24 April. Flights will operate on Mondays and Thursdays, with fares starting at $400, a premium compared to similar routes.
Planned flight schedules:
- TLV-DEB 21:30-23:55
- DEB-TLV 00:55-04:50
- TLV-DEB 20:30-22:55
- DEB-TLV 23:55-03:50
The route was previously operated by Hungary-based Wizz Air, which suspended services following the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas conflict. Compounding the disruption, Wizz Air announced the closure of its Debrecen base this winter, leaving the city with a single flight connection—to London Luton Airport.
