Türkiye, Israel expected to resume flights

Countries to sign aviation agreement, says Israeli Prime Ministry

JERUSALEM (AA) - A new agreement between Türkiye and Israel is expected to pave the way for the resumption of flights between the two countries.

A new bilateral Turkish-Israeli aviation agreement will be signed on Thursday for the first time since 1951, the Israeli Prime Ministry Press Office said in a statement.

The decision came after a meeting between transport ministers of the two countries a few months ago.

As part of the agreement, “the flights between both countries will resume.”

Israeli Transport Minister Merav Michaeli said: "Aviation relations are a strategic tool for Israel's economic development and of particular importance toward Israel's regional position."
