And those rumours are coming from airliners.net ?

Well over there, someone is also mentioning that Air Wales will come back to BRU so again rumours all over the place.

Only isreli carriers are allowed to land in Eilat (ETH) such ELAL,Arkia,Israir and private jet. All other international airlines operators are landing in Ovda (VDA) about 60 kms from the city of Eilat.
anyway, that's a great holliday destination!!!

Hello

Well , it wouldn't surprise me that they would fly to Eilat again.

I guess it was Thomas Cook that used to fly BRU-Eilat. (true????can't confirm...)

By the way a lot of new 'Winter'destinations (if i can call them like that)
have rosen the last weeks. Like ; Tozeur (Tunesia)
Taba (Egypt)
Borg el Arab(Egypt)

And some others wich i don't remember anymore.

But yes, you can say it's a seasonal flight i guess. So Eilat wouldn't surprise
me neater. Alto i started to ask myself whetter their was yes or no an airport (after the route was disappeared (several years ???))from BRU.

And about Air Wales. Yeah! Good joke, they had a route BRU-Swansea-Cardiff for maybe 2 or 3 months so...wouldn't count to much on it.
Alto i would really like to see them coming back to BRU.(Never saw one in that short period).
