Jump to postIsrael has deep Russia ties. Something like 10% of the population is Russian/Soviet-born, with an overall 15% of the population with Russian/Soviet links. So for political, business/trade and family reasons scuttling relations with Russia is not something that would be popular nor without significa...
Jump to postA more effective sanction would be to prohibit airlines serving Russia to overfly and to land in the EU. True, but then you would upset China, Turkey, and the UAE. Maybe there's more to lose than to win? Is it really necessary at this point? The answer to your question lies beyond the civil aviatio...
Jump to postNATO is a military alliance only, so I don't believe they would have the power to impose a flight embargo of civilian flights. Am happy to be corrected though. But I equally don't really see how those TK flights are benefiting Russia though. For once, you are right...kind of. There is no embargo, i...

Jump to postHi all! Just wondering, what happens to QF’s PER/DRW - LHR and SIN - LHR flights if Russia introduced an Australian airspace ban? Could the 787-9 and A380 fly over Europe or another route? Noticed last night the DRW fight still using Russian airspace. Would just like to say that I am sure all our t...

it is good to have one more OW carrier in TLV. I hope they offer good connections to Africa and North America.

Why would someone from the UAE go to a desert (and expensive) destination like Eilat? It makes 0,00 sense.

Without getting into the politics of it all, I wonder if this is really driven by the desire to collect overflight fees, because revenue is revenue at this point, or to truly be diplomatic. Either way, it's quite the positive development for all involved - and it's about time. If that's what is dri...
Jump to postGiven the lack of a rail link to Eilat, and the move from ETH to ETM, this move essentially cuts it off for convenient travel. Eilat has never been a decent tourist attraction and now this dump is also hard to get to.
