Blue Bird adds fourth weekly Tel Aviv-Amsterdam flight as summer demand rises

The additional service will begin on August 10, with flights operating four days a week and one-way fares starting at €164.

Blue Bird Airways is expanding its Tel Aviv-Amsterdam flight service to four weekly flights starting August 10, in response to rising demand during peak summer travel season. The Greek carrier will operate the route on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, with one-way fares starting at €164. This expansion comes as Ben-Gurion Airport anticipates heavy traffic, with 2.6 million passengers expected to pass through the airport in August, and daily traffic projected to reach between 90,000 and 95,000 passengers on most weekdays.

Blue Bird's owner, Arnon Englender, stated that the additional flight aims to better meet the growing demand from both leisure and business travelers while offering customers greater flexibility and more convenient travel options. The Amsterdam expansion is part of Blue Bird's broader increase in operations from Israel, with the airline announcing three additional summer routes from Tel Aviv to Bulgaria, Crete, and Kos in May.
