"This is a first for any Israeli airline and was seen by many as a means to attract many Haredi passengers to the airline at a time when they were showing great dissatisfaction with arch-rival, El Al, following their flying of aircraft over the Shabbat." - this is unreferenced and could read as
original research.
The business history and incident history are currently interleaved and reads a little bit awkwardly. I would consider moving the incidents into their own section.
"In May 2007, an Israir aircraft on a test flight was almost shot down by Israeli F-16 jets after it entered a demarcation zone where airlines are expected to identify themselves.[8] Just one month later, the airline sparked controversey once again when a passenger announced he was filing a lawsuit against the airline for misadvertising the legroom they offered on their aircraft.[9] Later that month, on 23 May,..." firstly we're in May, then we're one month later (so June?) and then "...later that month..." we're back in May again...
"...at a Berlin airport following smoke build up in the cabin on approach at Berlin-Schonefeld International Airport." - was the "Berlin airport" a different one from Schoenfeld? A bit confusing.
While the destinations are covered in another article, it would be useful to have an overview here.
The table looks pretty awkward on my browser (Firefox) - the notes column could be widened, the (+3 on order) could go in the notes column, generally external links within the article are discouraged, why are the passengers entries left blank for everything beside the A320?
I'm putting the GA on hold, I know some of these comments don't necessarily apply to the GA criteria specifically but it's a very short article and I believe the comments should be addressed before I'd be happy giving it the green light.

The fair use rationales should be applied to the newly moved page (so Israir Airlines rather than just plain Israir) - I know the redirects work but let's just get it specific.
I think it depends how you define second largest. Arkia has a larger fleet but Israir has more larger planes so could possibly carry more. I really dont know--

It is the third largest at least by aircraft quantity and destinations. The sources originally brought are entirely unreliable. Unfortunately this is one more blunder (though harmless) the airline has got itself into. I took the liberty to rectify.

767
Someone removed the 767 that was leased by Icelandair and flies between JFK and TLV. Israir still flies this route, but now there is nothing in the article to say which aircraft it is. Also, where is the support to say that the aircraft is now with Varig? —Preceding

I did not see that this leased B.767 (Reg'd TF-FIC) had been removed from the table before I added it, but I guess that lacking information may be a reason for this. But I checked who flew the A/C, to which destinations etc. Today, Israir flew its
6H101 (TLV-JFK) as shown by the
FlightStats Flight Tracker and the airline planner itself. There are other destinations, like
Bangkok - Suvarnabhumi,
Milan-Malpensa and you can find other recent spottings on other airports.
One thing is true: the airline is not cooperative at all when you try to get more information, and their (not really informative) website seems to be restricted to few browsers…

GA Reassessment
This discussion is
transcluded from
Talk:Israir Airlines/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.
This article is being reviewed as part of the
WikiProject Good Articles. We're doing
Sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the
GA criteria. This article was awarded GA-status back in 2007 and the GA requirements have been "tightened up", so I will be assessing the article to ensure that it is still compliant.

Initial comments
History -
Ref 5 is a broken web link (citation for the Ganden Group).
The claim about ownership by the Ganden Group is also out of date. This link (
[1]) indicates that it was sold in 2009 to another company, but with some common directorships.
The statement "Israir Airlines was established in 1989 as Kanfei HaEmek (Valley Wings), before changing its name to Israir Airlines in 1996" is unreferenced.
Ref 9 is a broken web link.
Ref 10 confirms that passenger filing a lawsuit, but it does not provide any evidence to support the, possibly POV, comment "Israir sparked controversy once again".
Ref 11 confirms that Israir was applying for designated carrier status on various routes, but not the statement: "In early 2008, when restrictions were lifted on Israeli airlines destinations," Furthermore, there is no mention in the article of any restrictions on Israeli airlines destinations.
The table in the "fleet" paragraph needs its mathematics revisited. Also, the "body" text mentions an A330 which is absent from the same table. Anyone know the facts? TIA,

The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
– We stick with the most commonly used name (dedicated guideline at
WP:COMMONNAME) and in this case, even mentioned by the article in the leading paragraph, it is Israir and not Israir Airlines. The airline brands itself too as simply Israir. Most other wikis too have this article as "Israir" and not "Israir Airlines".
