Doctor Cruces - while Stansted - Tel Aviv is a long way, Ryanair in fact fly a slightly longer route in Billund - Tenerife, taking an average of 5h10m each way. Seems as if some people in Denmark will put up with it... !
Anyone knowledgable care to give details on what the current bilaterals would allow for an Irish airline between the UK (or France, Germany or Hungary for that matter) and Israel ? With a very small Jewish community in Dublin I very much doubt an Irish route would work more than once or twice per week
The fact that Easyjet flies to Israel from just the UK and Switzerland makes me think that this is not completely open skies

DJ,
I'm not certain what tHe exact status of the UK - IL BASA but following pressure from BRU all EU member states have been negotiating Community Air Carrier provisions into all their agreements. If the UK was successful, and it looks like they have been, a UK carrier will be any airline owned and controlled by EU nationals which would include Cryanair.
Other EU countries probably have not yet renegotiated their BASA with IL, or if they have nobody has begun operations under the new terms. just like there is (almost) no operations to the USA by a EU carrier from outside their homeland.
Note that Switzerland is not part of this. Squeezy Switzerland, owned 51% by Swiss nationals and 49% by Squeezy UK, operates to IL as a Swiss airline.
