UK low-cost carrier easyJet will close its route from Tel Aviv to Rome in March, as it draws down its operations in the Italian capital's Fiumicino airport.
easyJet's spokesperson in Israel confirmed the move to "Globes". "easyJet is closing down its base in Rome and transferring the majority of its operations to other airports in Italy, like Napoli and Milan. This decision affects a number of routes departing from this destination, including the line to Israel."
On the other hand, the British budget carrier opened a new line from Tel Aviv to Amsterdam today - with 4 weekly flights (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday).
Excluding the soon-to-be-canceled Rome route, easyJet flies to 9 different European destinations from Israel, including Berlin, Geneva, Paris, and London's Luton and Gatwick.
