Saudi Arabia Opens Airspace for Commercial Flights Between New Delhi and Tel Aviv, Israel

FighterSweep Staff No Comments News, Photos, Video

Saudi Arabia opened its airspace for the first time to a commercial flight to Israel with the inauguration of an Air India route between New Delhi and Tel Aviv.

Flight 139 landed at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport after a seven-and-a-half hour journey, marking a diplomatic shift for Riyadh that Israel says was fuelled by shared concern over Iranian influence in the region.

“This is a really historic day that follows two years of very, very intensive work,” Israeli tourism minister Yariv Levin said, adding that using Saudi airspace cut travel time to India by around two hours and would reduce ticket prices. – Independent

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia does not recognize Israel.
