Israel’s El Al and Russia’s Transaero now have the right to operate 21 weekly flights each. Aeroflot also gains the right to fly charters on a regular base.

El Al has been operating direct regular flights to Moscow and St. Petersburg. On the Russian side, Transaero Airlines has been operating flights from Moscow to Ben-Gurion Airport, while Rossiya Airlines has been offering flights from St. Petersburg to Tel Aviv. 

Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz said that the agreement includes flights to Ben-Gurion International Airport and Ovda Airport near Eilat. He added that after visa requirements between Russia and Israel were abolished in 2008, the number of Russian tourists visiting Israel has grown dramatically from 365,000 in 2008 to 603,000 in 2013.
