Israeli airlines will soon begin commercial operations to Turkey, confirmed Israel’s’ Foreign Minister Eli Cohen. This announcement comes on the backdrop of improved relationships between the two nations with the signing of airline security agreement negotiated in 2022.
According to Reuters, the flights from Israel to Turkey will start on February 16, 2023. The minister expects 25% increase in passenger traffic this year.
The Minister claimed a million Israeli tourists would visit Turkey in 2023.
“I would like to update you that Israeli flights will renew in two days from now, and all the three major companies in Israel will renew their flights to Turkey,” Cohen said “We will definitely warm the important relations between your important and beautiful country and Israel.”
