Very interesting.
"Air Malta and Malta Air will run parallel to each other, avoiding any clashes in routes and destinations as Malta Air aims to take-over Ryanair's Maltese operations."

So it seems like it wasn’t a security issue after all…

For what it's worth, I still don't trust the Turkish government to protect Israelis..

I still don't see how LY can compete with TK and all the low cost Turkish ones

Israeli press imply that KSA overfly is essentially a deal that will be announced on Friday

I'd be very disappointed if it's not happening 

Beyond all the benefits for LY (shorter / cheaper routes, new routes etc) we could finally see SQ launch service, no?  (unless there are other factors I didn't take into account)

[yandmk]

(unless there are other factors I didn't take into account)

There are

[tavster]

There are

Remind me?

[yandmk]

Remind me?

@ExGingi will explain. I'm not exactly sure myself.

[tavster]

@ExGingi will explain. I'm not exactly sure myself.

Looking forward.
I guess my follow up question would be: anything preventing LY to launch a route to SIN?

SQ flights to TLV will not happen without normalization with Malaysia. Whether LY can fly into SIN is another question (is it possible without entering Malaysian airspace?)

[tavster]

SQ flights to TLV will not happen without normalization with Malaysia.

I'm not expert but I thought they settled their disputes back in 2019?

Is it possible without entering Malaysian airspace?

I would think through the Gulf of Thailand, then South, wouldnt be too much of a detour
