El Al is to triple the number of flights it runs to Luton Airport.
From March the airline, Israel’s national carrier, will be operating six weekly flights — up from just two a week — to Luton, north of London.
That number will rise by another five in June, meaning that by the summer 22 flights will operate from Tel Aviv into London and the surrounding area every week.
David Maimon, vice-president of commercial and aviation ties for El Al, said the move would make travel between London and Tel Aviv more accessible.
