The agreement was signed by Fontana Jango on behalf of the Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) and Avi Ben Hur on behalf of the Israeli Civil Aviation Authority.
Minister of Transport Israel Katz said, following the signing ceremony, that according to the new agreement each country can award two airlines the rights to the route.
