A day after Israel closed its airspace following strikes on Iran, Arkia announced it will operate special round-trip flights between Athens and Taba, Egypt, in cooperation with Electra Airways.
Fares start at $359 one way, not including baggage. A carry-on trolley costs $20, and a checked suitcase is $45.
Flights will be operated using Airbus A320 aircraft and are designed to allow passengers to cross overland from the Taba border crossing into Israel, or depart Israel via Taba for onward flights to Athens.
Tickets are available for purchase on Arkia’s website and through travel agents only.
