EL AL plans to operate three weekly flights between Dublin and Tel Aviv from next spring. The flights will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays with EL AL operating a Boeing 737-800aircraft with a flight time of approximately six hours and offering both economy and business class with full on-board service.

The route will also come as good news to the ever-growing number of Israeli businesses that are present in Ireland. We look forward to the commencement of the new EL AL service from Dublin Airport next spring.”
