A spokesperson for Air Seychelles denies a report picked up by most mainstream Israeli news outlets of a flight to Tel Aviv making an emergency landing in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The report which initiated with Channel 12 news appears to have no basis, and there are no flights between Seychelles and Israel currently in the air.

This updates an earlier incorrect report.
