Did Saudi Arabia allow Israel-bound commercial flights to use its airspace? The Kingdom reportedly granted Air India approval to operate direct flights from Delhi to Tel Aviv in a historic first, sources in the Israeli flight industry told Haaretz. However, a spokesman for Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Civil Aviation speaking to Reuters denied the report. A move like this would be the first time the Saudis are allowing commercial flights to Israel to use their airspace and would be the first overt policy shift by the Kingdom towards normal ties with Israel.
