The Israeli airline ELAL is sponsoring the Israeli delegation at the Tokyo Olympics, writes the Jerusalem Post.

The airline opens a new direct route to Tokyo. ELAL flies delegation to the Olympics and offers them a gold membership.

ELAL CEO Gonen Usishkon signed the agreement with the head of the Israeli Olympic Committee, Igal Carmi. Several former Olympic participants also participated, such as Joduka Yael Arad and gymnast Linoy Ashram.

Carmi praised the airline’s support and congratulated them on joining the “family of sponsors” who help Israeli athletes.

He also expressed hope that the new direct route to Tokyo, which starts in March 2020, will make many Israeli fans travel to the Olympics.
