Fleet
Arkia (IATA: IZ, ICAO: AIZ) is Israel's second largest airline, established in 1949. Based at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, the airline operates a lean fleet of 6 aircraft comprising Airbus A321, A330, and Embraer E-190 and E-195 models, enabling service across both short-haul domestic and long-haul international routes.
The airline maintains four operational hubs: Ben Gurion Airport (primary), Eilat Airport, Ovda Airport, and Sde Dov Airport. This network structure allows Arkia to connect Israel's major cities and provide convenient access to regional and European destinations. All meals served on board comply with Kosher dietary standards.
Arkia made aviation history by operating the world's first Airbus A321LR, launched in November 2018. The airline combines heritage and modern fleet technology, positioning itself as a reliable carrier for both leisure and business travellers in the Eastern Mediterranean region.
