JERUSALEM (AA) – The Israeli government announced Monday the approval of an aviation agreement with Türkiye.

“We approved an agreement to establish aviation connections between Türkiye and Israel,” Prime Minister Yair Lapid said on Twitter.

Lapid said under the agreement, Israeli airliners will be able to land and take off from Istanbul and other destinations in Türkiye.

This agreement will “benefit Israeli passengers and Israeli aviation,” he said, pointing to the normalization of relations between Israel and Türkiye.

“This is an important strategic move for stability and prosperity in the region, which will be a significant contribution to the advancement of relations between the two countries. The next step is appointing ambassadors.”

On August 17, Türkiye and Israel decided to raise their diplomatic relations by appointing ambassadors.

A cooperation agreement was also signed between the two countries in the field of aviation. Currently, Turkish aviation companies can organize flights to Israel.
