Wizz Air, Israel

Wizz Air defies trends, launches "Fly As Much As You Can" club in Israel

As airlines flee, Wizz Air bets big on Israel with unlimited flight club, challenging industry fears and offering a lifeline for travel amid Middle East tensions.

In a bold move that contrasts sharply with industry trends, Wizz Air has unveiled its "Fly as Much as You Can" membership program in Israel. The launch comes at a time when numerous airlines are suspending operations to the country due to escalating security concerns in the region.

For an annual fee of 599 euros plus 9.99 euros per ticket, members gain access to unlimited flights across Wizz Air's extensive European network, covering 50 destinations, 200 cities, and 800 routes. Early birds who sign up within the next two days can enjoy a 100 euro discount, according to KAN News.

This initiative stands in stark contrast to the actions of other major carriers. Ryanair has suspended all flights to Tel Aviv until at least August 23, citing operational challenges. EasyJet has taken an even more drastic step, halting its Israel operations until March 2025. American carriers Delta, United, and American Airlines have also temporarily canceled their US-Israel routes.

The list of airlines suspending service to Israel continues to grow, including British Airways, Air India, LOT, Lufthansa, and Fly Dubai. These decisions reflect the heightened tensions in the Middle East, with Iran's threats casting a long shadow over regional air travel.

Wizz Air's contrarian approach raises questions about risk assessment in the airline industry and may signal a potential opportunity for passengers wanting to travel now.
