As part of its agreement to operate the route, the airline agreed that IDF personnel would be allowed to fly from Tel Aviv to Rosh Pinna for free. 12,000 tickets were given to the Defense Ministry as a result.[1]

In 2016 a new route from the Rosh Pina Airport to the Eilat Airport was announced[2] , however as of 2019 this route isn't active and there have been no intentions of using it. Due to the closure of Sde Dov Airport in 2019 the company no longer maintains flight routes to and from the airport.
