DALLAS - As part of a commitment to deepen bilateral ties, Israel and Turkey on Thursday signed a civil aviation agreement that will enable Israeli airlines to restore service to Turkey. The bilateral civil aviation accord is the first agreement of its kind to be inked since 1951.
The Prime Minister's Office, the Foreign Ministry, the director of Israel's Civil Aviation Authority, Joel Feldschuh, and the Israeli Transportation Minister Merav Michaeli were all thanked for their contributions to advancing the deal.
The decision to deepen and broaden bilateral ties was taken by Turkish Foreign Minister avuşolu and Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid during recent meetings in Jerusalem and Ankara.
