The initiative plans to operate direct flights from Hamburg to Ben-Gurion International Airport outside Tel Aviv.
The website for Tel Aviv Air shows photos of Tel Aviv and Hamburg, as well as a brief description of the airline's operations. The airline says it will begin with two weekly flights between the two cities, and that tickets will be available starting in July 2021. The airline will offer two main classes – Economy and Premium Economy, at prices it describes as "attractive."
Israelis who have been vaccinated for COVID are allowed to visit Germany and do not need to take COVID tests prior to departure or quarantine upon arrival. As far as the Germany population goes, over 20% have been fully vaccinated and 25% have received at least the first dose of the vaccine.
