Yields?

Lots of people fly into VDA/ETH just to continue on to Jordan (Petra or Aqaba, which is far cheaper than Eilat).

Protectionism/security.

I can't imagine a foreign airline ever being allowed to offer an intra-Israel flight, even though they would not have pickup/dropoff rights

What makes you think that their 777 business class might be anything one might want to fly?

Yet, if it were priced just a drop over economy, I might take it, just like I took Transaero ע"ה for about $1,600 RT in business. But I would like to see the actual product, before getting excited about it.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Just came here to post this, keep in mind the EWR-RZE turn will be 1/week, frequency of TLV-RZE wasn't clear.

You sure there's a schedule already (for the RZE-TLV route)?

Guess not. That's what I was asking. :)

It does say it will start in the Spring already.
