Arkia airlines announces that it will launch new flights to Turkey, the first Israeli company to fly there in 15 years.
The announcement comes a day after Israel’s ambassador to Turkey Irit Lillian presented her credentials as the two countries restored full diplomatic ties.
Israeli airlines stopped flying to Turkey amid security fears.
Arkia will begin flying to Istanbul in late February and flights to Antalya will start a month later.
