Direct India-’Israel’ Flights may Begin via Saudi Arabia

Local Editor

As Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues his six-day trip to India, the idea of enabling Air India to fly over Saudi skies to the occupied territories have been floated.

In the meantime, a major Indian airline may begin operating direct return flights to the ‘Israeli'-occupied territories which will include a navigation route above Saudi Arabia as part of the further consolidation of normalized ties between Tel Aviv and New Delhi.

On Monday, Netanyahu, currently in the midst of a six-day trip to India, boasted that ‘Israel' and India had already signed nine agreements covering cooperation in cyber security, space and oil and gas exploration.

India has been keen to map out speedier flight routes in Saudi skies to reduce the journey duration by around two hours by enabling it to fly west without the need take roundabout routes, thereby slashing costs on fuel and significantly increasing the number of tourists flying between the Zionist entity and India.

In addition, the new route would enable the airline to dramatically reduce the price of flight tickets and simultaneously stimulate competition among other airlines.

The change would symbolize another step in the direction of normalization between the Zionist entity and the Saudi kingdom, buttressing the already reported to believe increasingly warm and cooperative, albeit it private, relations.

Sources in Netanyahu's delegation said Monday that the issue was raised during conversations between him and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. At the conclusion of the discussions, the two prime ministers inked an aviation agreement that will facilitate changes in airfares and security arrangements and further coordination between the Zionist entity and India.

Speaking at a briefing with his Indian counterpart, Netanyahu said that the "upgrading of direct aviation routes will encourage the movement of investors, tourists, students and entrepreneurs."
