Israir seeks designated carrier status for US destinations
Arkia also wants designated status, after the government agreed to increase security subsidies.
Israir Airlines and Tourism Ltd. has applied to the Ministry of Transport for designated carrier status to several destinations in Europe and the US.
Israir chairman Guy Rosen said that the desired destinations were London, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Amsterdam, Rome, Budapest, Las Vegas, and Miami. He added that the airline filed the request after the Ministry of Transport announced that it would raise the government's participation in airlines' security costs, which would enable the government to abrogate its agreement with El Al Israel Airlines Ltd. (TASE: ELAL) that gave the airline exclusive designated carrier status on long haul routes

Israir chiede le autorizzazioni per volare, fra le altre, anche verso Roma. Questo perché la compagnia di bandiera El Al ha chiesto dei finanziamenti per aumentare le dotazioni di sicurezza sui propri aerei a scapito dell'esclusiva designazione verso alcune rotte europee e nordamericane.
