Media reports in Israel indicate that the Virgin group is holding negotiations with Israir for the formation of a strategic alliance venture between the two companies.
 
It is understood that within the framework of the cooperation the two airlines would exchange know-how and share advanced sales systems.

The company is flying internationally between Israel and major destinations in Mediterranean Basin and Europe. The company operates a fleet of Airbus 320, Boeing 767-300ER, and ATRs aircraft. In addition, the company offers special charter flights.
 
Official details have not been released but reports say that the two companies are discussing code-sharing arrangement as well as joint venture with Virgin Tourism.
