UK low cost airline bmi is intends to launch a daily non stop service from Heathrow to Tel Aviv starting next spring. The move come after the successful conclusion of bilateral talks between the UK and Israeli governments, allow the designation of a second UK and Israeli airline on routes between London and Tel Aviv.

“The opportunity to be part of the growing business links and ties between the UK and Israel is extremely exciting and we shall look forward to playing our part in widening the competitive air links between the two countries, and the economic growth that this has historically achieved,” said Nigel Turner, bmi CEO.

The launch of services from Heathrow to Tel Aviv will grow the total number of destinations served by bmi, Heathrow’s second biggest airline, from Heathrow to 39. Earlier this month bmi announced the largest-ever expansion of its route network, with the opening of sales to 17 new destinations, including Baku, Cairo, Tehran, Beirut, and Amman. The move marks the completion of the integration of BA destinations that were operated by BMED under a franchise agreement. BMED was purchased by bmi in February 2007.
