Oman lifts airspace closure for El Al

With new rules for air traffic, Oman is now following Saudi Arabia in a sign of rapprochement with Israel. 

In the future, the airspace will be open to all airlines that meet the authority's requirements for an overflight, the Gulf State's aviation authority announced today. The vaguely worded statement means that all commercial connections to and from Israel are now possible and Israeli airlines are also allowed to fly through Oman airspace. This is reported by the German online portal Aero.

Israels Außenminister Eli Cohen nannte dies eine „historische und bedeutende Entscheidung für die israelische Wirtschaft und für israelische Reisende“. Der Oman und Israel unterhalten keine diplomatischen Beziehungen. Auch Saudi-Arabien hatte im Juli vergangenen Jahres seinen Luftraum für Israel geöffnet. Das Königreich veröffentlichte damals eine ähnlich lautende Erklärung, die Israel ebenfalls nicht explizit erwähnte.
