Isn't an Airbus A320 rather small for a flight from TLV to Sri Lanka?

TUS Airways - TLV & HFA to LCA
So while it was previously announced that TUS Airways would be flying between TLV and LCA, what I had not heard was that they would also be flying between HFA (Haifa) and LCA.

Schedule is here: https://storage.aerocrs.com/252/syst...20Schedule.jpg
Looks like they may also expand flights to Eilat in the summer as that is listed as one of their destinations on their website.
Right now they are flying a Saab 340 Turboprop, but it sounds like they will soon be aquiring an Embraer Regional Jet.

TUS Airways - 22 Flight coupon book for TLV/HFA-LCA
http://tusairways.com/Our-Services/freqpassengers
The price doesn't seem like such a great deal however, but perhaps having the flexibility makes it worthwhile for frequent business travelers. Plus having the Haifa option could be very valuable for some people.

On the dates I searched, HFA-LCA-HFA was 120 euro. Not bad at all, given the convenience of HFA.

Yes, it's quite an old airport dating back to the British mandate, it's extremely small AFAIK.
Arkia "won" a government contract many years ago to operate flights to/from it but they lost a considerable amount of money due to that binding deal. I'm surprised anyone decided to give it another try.
Prices seems really high to me but on the other hand it would be great to fly it since they are using a Short-360, an aircraft I never had a chance to fly with.

36 seats I believe. it's a SD3-60.
Only 13 are still in service worldwide, a unique plane to fly IMO.

ANA is very interested in setting up direct flights between Israel and Japan.

TUS flights HFA LCA
I don't understand their schedules either. Yesterday (Monday) at 17:00 their Saab 340 was on the ramp in Haifa - completely closed up for overnight stay (pitot covers etc).
