Israelis who have been vaccinated for or recovered from the coronavirus will be able to travel from Ben-Gurion Airport to Eilat as early as this week as part of a special pilot conducted by local provider Israir, the airline announced Sunday.

The company is set to launch a series of flights this week to try new ways of having passengers arrive and leave the airport. Eilat was chosen as a destination as the government has already allowed all hotels in the city to reopen. 

As part of the first stage of the pilot, Israir will launch a weekly flight to Eilat on Tuesday. The price of the ticket is set at 141 shekels ($43).

Every passenger will be required to present a "green passport" that confirms they have either been fully vaccinated or a certificate verifying they have recovered from COVID. 

Airline employees working on such flights will be fully vaccinated, as well. 

Israir noted that besides the pilot, it also plans to resume its regular scheduled flights for the general public, stressing that each aircraft will be disinfected in accordance with regulations.
