The flights will be carried out with a Boeing 737-700, configured in a two-class lay-out, with a capacity of 141 seats: 14 in Premium Business Class and 127 in Economy Class.

Fares will start at 295 USD all in for a round trip excluding checked baggage, and 355 USD all in with a piece of 23kg checked baggage.

The flights are already available to the travel agents in the various distribution systems.
The airline, which has a good reputation for the high quality of its service and for punctuality, boosted a 95.6% passenger punctuality (departure within 15 minutes) in 2016.

The signing of the agreement with TAL Aviation and beginning of services to Israel will be a welcome move to the Israeli market. Says Nissim Sagis, Chief Commercial Officer of TAL Aviation "France is an important destination for the Israeli traveler. 2017 saw a continued increase in traffic from Israel to France as well as a continued increase in its market share. Coupled with Israel's recent "Open Sky" policy resulting in more players and attractive prices available in Israel's market, the average Israeli traveler is increasing the number of trips made abroad. At the same time, Israel has a large French community and I am confident that with the vitality of the airline, together with the expertise of our team in Israel, we can place the airline as an attractive alternative to the French capital."

"We are particularly pleased to launch the Tel Aviv route and therefore to offer to our customers the opportunity to benefit from the quality of service that distinguishes ASL Airlines France with very attractive fares. The addition of the Tel Aviv route to our scheduled network is an important step in the continuous development of our company, and we are delighted to rely on the commercial skills of TAL Aviation to succeed in this new market.” declares Jean-François Dominiak, CEO of ASL Airlines France.
