Low-cost carrier easyJet has announced it plans launching flights between Tel Aviv and Hamburg in November 2014.

easyJet will operate two weekly flights to Hamburg, on Mondays and Thursdays. The company said it will use Airbus A320s with 180 seats for the proposed Tel Aviv-Hamburg route.

The service will commence on November 3 2014. The new route will make Hamburg the sixth German city with direct flights to Israel.

Hamburg will be the ninth destination easyJet operates from Israel after London Luton, London Gatwick, Manchester, Basel, Geneva, Rome, Milan and Berlin.

Since January 2014, over 220,000 passengers have flown with easyJet to and from Israel.

“EasyJet continues with its plans to connect Tel Aviv with the airline’s bases around Europe," said the company's marketing director Sophie Dekkers. "Tel Aviv and Hamburg are two great cities to visit for leisure and business. I’m sure that our easy and affordable service will boost tourism between the two cities as happened with the other routes we've launched in Israel."
