Israeli airline drops plea against Air India flights via Saudi airspace
Israel's national carrier El Al has withdrawn its plea filed in the country's top court against the government's decision to allow Air India to fly over Saudi Arabia's airspace on the Delhi-Tel Aviv route, which it had claimed gave its competitor an unfair competitive edge.
Israel's High Court of Justice had urged El Al to drop the petition it filed in March this year, days after Air India's inaugural flight landed in Tel Aviv on March 22. Image source: Reuters
