Wizz Air, which will receive €250,000 from the Ministry of Tourism, says that over the past five years, it has carried 1.3 million passengers to and from Israel. It promises to be the largest low-cost carrier operating from Israel.
Ministry of Tourism provides the Wizz Air with grants for launching routes to destinations Israel did not have a direct air link.
