The new route is tailored for passengers with business affairs in both countries, while it also meets the needs of passengers traveling on vacation or recreation. Given that the broader area of Israel is hosting some of the most important shrines of Christianity and other major religions, the route is also intended to cover the so called religious tourism, which represents an important share of the relevant market. On the other hand the new route satisfies the increased flow of Israel tourists to Greece. Constantly improving Greek-Israeli relations necessitate a major increase of the air routes between the two countries.

Especially  for passengers travelling on the Tel Aviv – Athens leg, Olympic Air offers connecting flights to destinations in the Balkans, Cyprus, the Netherlands, Greece, and the Greek islands in a network that no other airline offers.

Travellers from Tel Aviv to Athens may access Greece by visiting the Greek capital, Athens, and onwards to 31 domestic destinations (18 commercial plus 13 PSO routes currently served).
Connecting flights to the Greek islands is of special focus as the flow of Israeli tourists to Greece is constantly increasing. By offering this service, Olympic Air presents its passengers a highly flexible, effective, and economic way to travel.
Passengers on the new route will also enjoy the advantage of highly competitive departure and arrival times.

Flights from Tel Aviv to Athens will be operated by Airbus A320/A319 three times a week, every Monday, Friday and Sunday. On Monday and Friday time of departure from Tel Aviv will be 13:20 and Sunday 15:20. Respectively departures from Athens on Monday and Friday are scheduled for 10:35am and Sunday for 11:55am. (All times are local).
During the summer period the frequency of flights will increase to four per week, adding one more flight on Thursdays. Flight time is 1 hour and 50 minutes.

end technology, major universities, museums, archaeological sites and religious shrines. Very close to Greece, in an era of economic and energy geostrategic upheavals in the Mediterranean, Tel Aviv is a great place to combine business trips with leisure holidays and religious tourism.
