USA to Tel Aviv
Can anyone tell me why Continental is the only US airline to fly to
Tel Aviv? Is there any history to this flight? Probably just the simple matter of their not being enough of a market for the route OR the airport at Tel Aviv not being able to handle more than one United States airline. Also probably has to do with the fact that El Al services Toronto (Canada), New York, Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles. Cheers, Geoff Glave Vancouver, Canada |

Probably for the same reason many US airlines don't fly to other smaller European and Mid-Eastern destinations: it makes more sense to fly from many cities in the USA to a European hub, and leave the European hub to "smaller European / Mid-Eastern destination" flight to the European partner airline.

There are other reasons: Not all airports have runways for long range operation. Smaller places even with long runways might not feed enough first class and business passengers; that's why Lony (France) - US hase been discontinued, although general loads weren't that bad.

It is pretty seasonal, and there are strikes at Ben Gurion every so often, and there are terrorism concerns. -- Binyamin Dissen http://www.dissensoftware.com |
