Arkia flight to Cyprus forced to return to Tel Aviv after windshield cracks
An Arkia flight from Tel Aviv to Cyprus was forced to return to Israel after the windshield of the plane cracked during the flight.
The flight landed safely and passengers were later transferred to an alternate aircraft.
“The Arkia team acted so that everything would be dealt with in the safest, most efficient and speedy way so that the holiday of the travelers would not be affected,” Arkia says in a statement.
No reason was given for the cracked windscreen.
