ANKARA (Sputnik) - Turkey and Israel intend to start negotiations on resuming direct commercial flights of Israeli airlines halted in 2007 over the security checks procedure, Turkish media reported on Monday.
As part of the general normalization process initiated between Turkey and Israel, civil aviation negotiations between the two countries will resume with a meeting on Monday, the Cumhuriyet newspaper reported, adding that they plan to sign a new civil aviation agreement.
Under this agreement, the sides reportedly aim to increase the number and frequency of direct flights, while the most important issue will be the safety rules that Israel requires of its airlines to resume their flights to Turkey.
Israel's security forces require that the country's personnel conduct security checks at Turkish airports on flights organized by Israeli airlines.
