Direct Flights Between Buenos Aires and Tel Aviv Confirmed

A new era of connectivity has dawned between Argentina and Israel with the confirmation of direct flights between Buenos Aires and Tel Aviv. This landmark achievement, set to commence on November 29, 2026, is a testament to the strengthening strategic relationship fostered by President Javier Milei's administration.

The National Civil Aviation Administration's approval of El Al Israel Airlines' flight schedule marks a significant milestone. Operating twice weekly with state-of-the-art Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, these non-stop flights will drastically reduce travel time, offering a more efficient and accessible travel option for passengers.

Today a dream that I pursued with all my effort since I took office as ambassador begins to come true. Argentina and Israel will have a direct flight and we hope to inaugurate it very soon, this year. This is not a coincidence: it is the concrete result of the strategic link that President Javier Milei built with Israel and of an investment that the Israeli government decided to make in response to that relationship.

This direct air link is a direct outcome of the Open Skies agreement signed during President Milei's recent visit to Israel. The agreement aims to modernize and expand the air transport system between the two nations, opening new avenues for commerce, investment, tourism, and cultural exchange. The Argentine Ambassador to Israel, Axel Wahnish, hailed the initiative as the realization of a long-held dream, emphasizing its role in deepening the strategic partnership.

From an Argentine perspective, this new route is more than just improved travel; it represents a tangible benefit of President Milei's foreign policy and his commitment to forging strong ties with Israel. It facilitates greater interaction between the vibrant Argentine-Jewish community, the largest in Latin America, and Israel, fostering closer people-to-people connections. This development is seen as a clear signal of the growing economic and diplomatic cooperation between our countries.

A milestone that opens a new era between our countries: more trade, more investments, more tourism, more culture, and more ties between our peoples. Milei's leadership generates benefits, and this is one of them.
