A Word from the CEO
Sun d’Or CEO Gal Gershon of the El Al group commented on the launch of the new route: “We’re seeing rising demand for flights to the Balkans, a region characterized by excellent food, breathtaking scenery and great value for money – which is why it’s so popular with the Israeli public. The new route to Tirana will strengthen ties between Israel and the Balkan countries and give Israeli tourists a range of options for an ideal holiday a short flight away. The locals in Albania support Israeli tourism, and we invite Israelis to enjoy warm and safe hospitality.”
