Israir Airlines (6H) August 2025 Operational Report

Flight Activity Overview

Total arriving flights: 2,292

Year-over-year change: +61.98%

Israir Airlines handled 2,292 arriving flights in August 2025, with a +61.98% year-over-year change. Demand was lifted by late-summer leisure travel to the Eastern Mediterranean and steady inbound traffic to Israel. The carrier concentrated capacity on peak weekend banks and charter-heavy days, aligning schedules with holiday flows to protect yields.

On-Time Performance and Cancellation

On-time arrival rate: 62.39%

Change in on-time rate: -1.00 percentage points

Cancelled flights: 25

Year-over-year change (cancellations): -83.44%

Punctuality reflected summer operating conditions across the region, with afternoon heat and convective weather in the Eastern Mediterranean and periodic air traffic flow measures. In response, Israir Airlines adjusted turn-times at key stations, pre‑positioned standby crews, and worked with ground handlers to streamline boarding and pushback. These steps supported on-time performance and helped contain cancellations.

Key Hubs

Tel Aviv Ben Gurion functions as the core hub, with early‑morning and late‑evening waves designed to maximize regional connectivity. Ramon Airport near Eilat supports leisure flows and seasonal peaks, while European gateways such as Athens, Larnaca, and Heraklion underpin short‑haul holiday travel. The schedule balances point‑to‑point demand with timed connections so travellers can reach beach destinations or city breaks within a day.

Outlook

For passengers, Israir Airlines offers focused coverage of leisure routes and reliable access to Israel’s main gateways. On-time performance should remain closely managed as late‑summer flows taper and autumn schedules begin, with continued emphasis on resilient turn‑times. Looking ahead, the airline will balance seasonal flying with measured growth and refine ground processes at busy stations; travellers connecting via Tel Aviv should allow extra time during evening peaks and monitor weather across the Eastern Mediterranean.
