Wizz Air will open operational bases at Tel Aviv Ben Gurion and Ramon (near Eilat) in March, initially stationing one aircraft and crew, and will start Eilat–Budapest services the same month as it formally expands its presence in Israel.

Briefing
Wizz Air is establishing bases at Ben Gurion and Ramon and will launch Eilat–Budapest services from March, initially with one aircraft and crew — a direct capacity increase on Israeli routes; this comes as carriers reshuffle services to Tel Aviv and surrounding markets (see how Wizz planned to fill the recent capacity gap).
The move intensifies competition in the Israeli market and has already prompted legal and network responses from local carriers and competitors; follow-on disputes and fleet/capacity plans from incumbents could reshape short-haul and connecting flows (see Arkia's legal bid and recent carrier fleet/network reactions).
