New Airline Fly2Galicia to Use Planes Linked to Israeli Capital

Fly2Galicia, a newly launched airline offering flights from Santiago de Compostela airport, will charter its aircraft from a company backed by Israeli capital, according to reports.

Rather than operating its own fleet, the airline plans to rely entirely on leased planes provided by this external operator for its Galicia routes.

The supplying company has come under scrutiny for its previous involvement in aerial operations used to evacuate Palestinians from Gaza amid the region's ongoing conflict.

Questions have emerged about the ethical and political implications of this business relationship, though no further details on the nature of those operations have been confirmed in current reporting.

Meanwhile, Fly2Galicia has officially launched its website, giving prospective passengers access to information on flight frequencies and available routes from the Galician capital.

The airline's entry into the Galician market is seen as part of a broader effort to strengthen air connectivity and tourism in the region, which has historically struggled with limited direct international routes.

By offering charter-based operations, Fly2Galicia may be able to scale services more flexibly without the higher costs typically associated with owning and maintaining an aircraft fleet.

However, the airline's choice of supplier has already attracted attention beyond the aviation sector, linking a regional transport initiative to wider debates about the humanitarian situation in Gaza.

As the airline moves toward launching commercial flights, both its operational plans and its associations with the aircraft-leasing company are likely to remain subjects of public interest and media coverage in the coming months.
