Turkey and Israel intend to start negotiations in the field of civil aviation for the resumption of direct flights between the countries by Israeli airlines for the first time in 15 years, Cumhuriyet reported.

As part of the normalization process started between Turkey and Israel, talks in the field of civil aviation between the two countries are resuming. One of the first items on the agenda of the process is the signing of a new civil aviation agreement between the two countries.

In this context, talks on civil aviation between Turkey and Israel will resume from the meeting to be held today. The new civil aviation agreement aims to increase the number and frequency of direct scheduled flights between the two countries, while the most important item on the negotiating agenda will be the security rules Israel requires from Israeli airlines to resume their flights to Turkey.
