Ayit Aviation and Tourism
Ayit Aviation and Tourism is an Israeli domestic airline established in 1985 and reorganized in 2008.
History
Ayit flew between Sde Dov Airport, near Tel Aviv, and Ben Ya'akov Airport near Rosh Pinna. As part of its agreement to operate the route, the airline agreed that IDF personnel would be allowed to fly from Tel Aviv to Rosh Pinna for free. 12,000 tickets were given to the Defense Ministry as a result.A new route from the Rosh Pina Airport to Eilat Airport was announced in 2016. Due to the closure of Sde Dov Airport in 2019 the company no longer maintains flight routes to and from the airport.
As of 2023, Ayit is exclusively chartered by the IDF to transport military personnel between airbases during the ongoing Gaza war.
