Egypt's Air Sinai on
Sunday resumed direct flights from Cairo to Israel's Ben Gurion
International Airport after they were suspended for about 10 days, a
source familiar with the matter told Ahram Online.
According to the source, the Egyptian carrier's flight no. 54 took off at 10am local time from Cairo International Airport.
Air Sinai had suspended
its flights to Tel Aviv for security concerns, as had the European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the US Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA).
However, EASA and FAA
rescinded their ban on flights to Ben Gurion on 24 July after receiving
security assurance from Israel's Civil Aviation Authority.
Air Sinai is a subsidiary
of EgyptAir – Egypt's flagship carrier – but is not listed on the
airline's website. The only way to buy a ticket is to visit their office
in Cairo's Shubra district.
Meanwhile, Israeli
aggression continues against Gaza, with the Palestinian death toll
rising to 1,600, most of whom are civilians.
On the Israeli side, more than 66 people have been killed, 62 of them soldiers.
