Israeli flight to Dubai fails to get Saudi airspace permit
A flight by an Israeli regime's airline has failed to get a permit to travel through Saudi Arabia’s airspace and has been waiting in Tel Aviv for nearly five hours, the carrier said, according to a report by Bloomberg.
Israir Airlines & Tourism Ltd.’s flight 661 was to
depart at 9 am local time, and it isn’t known why the permits haven’t been
given, a spokeswoman for the airline said in a text message. The Isralei
regime's Foreign Ministry is dealing with the issue, she said.
Blommberg cited a report by Israel’s Channel 13 reported
earlier that Saudi Arabia had closed its airspace to Israeli flights. The
kingdom allowed flights from Israel to go through its airspace after the United
Arab Emirates and Israel agreed last year to establish ties.
