Following a 70-year ban, Saudi Arabia allowed an Israel-bound Indian commercial jet to fly over its airspace, prompting cries of discrimination by El Al, Israel’s national airline.
Thursday, Air India flight AI139, from New Delhi to Tel Aviv, became the first commercial aircraft en route to Israel to fly over Saudi Arabia since the former’s foundation in 1948. According to a March 7 statement by the airline, Saudi Arabia gave Air India the necessary approval for the route, drastically decreasing travel time for India-Israel direct flights.
This comes after the historic January meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi, the first visit to New Delhi by an Israeli prime minister in 15 years.
