The Israel Airports Authority announces that planned flights for West Bank Palestinians out of Ramon airport near Eilat have been delayed.
“When a date is selected we will update the media and the public,” a statement from the airports authority says, without giving a reason for the delay.
The planned flights by a pair of Turkish companies — which were due to begin later this month — marked a shift in Israeli policy, and would allow Palestinians to travel to Turkey without having to fly from Jordan or obtain a hard-to-come-by entry permit into Israel to fly from Ben Gurion Airport.
