Thanks for that information it's very much appreciated.

To be honest I wasn't aware of the fact that TUI vacations can not be booked from Antwerp. I was under the impression that TUI offered vacations from Antwerp targeting the local population as a smaller alternative to Brussels.

Nonetheless as you have rightly pointed out. In a similar fashion to TUI flying to Nador and Tanger.

These flights from Antwerp to Tel Aviv to be operated by TUI are aimed at the local market as well as targeting mainly VFR tourism for the Jewish community.

There might be the odd diamond trader on board, you never know 😉
