Air Haifa is expanding its route network with a new direct flight to Karpathos, Greece. The airline’s first flight to the destination took off Monday as part of its updated summer 2026 schedule.
Karpathos sits in the Aegean Sea, geographically between Crete and Rhodes. Compared to Greece’s main tourist destinations, the island sees relatively low visitor numbers and features local villages, mountain landscapes, and stretches of coastline.
Karpathos is Air Haifa’s fifth Greek destination and joins the airline’s official route list for summer 2026. The full lineup for the season includes Mykonos, Athens, Rhodes, Crete, Paphos, Larnaca, and a domestic route to Eilat’s airport.
Flight Schedule: Twice Weekly
Flights to Karpathos will operate twice a week on Mondays and Fridays. The airline continues its strategy of running direct flights from Haifa Airport to destinations around the Mediterranean basin.
Tickets for the Karpathos route start at $149 one-way, with availability at that fare varying based on demand and seat capacity.

Daily operations will include up to 24 flights on routes between Haifa and Cyprus (Larnaca and Paphos), and up to 6 daily flights on routes between Haifa and Greece and between Haifa and Eilat.
The expansion of aviation activity at the local airport comes amid rising demand for flights from Haifa Airport. The airline continues to increase flight frequency and add new routes to broaden transportation options available to residents of Haifa and northern Israel.
