(MENAFN- QNA) The Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) has denied reports that its airports would have direct flights from Israel during this Haj season.
GACA Spokesman Khaled Al-Khaibari said there would be no direct flights from Occupied Palestine to Saudi airports carrying Haj pilgrims from the occupied territories.
The daily English newspaper Arab News quoted him as saying that Palestinian pilgrims would be transported from Egyptian or Jordanian airports. Otherwise, they would travel to Makkah and Madinah by road through Jordan, he said.
Al-Khaibari issued the denial after reports in Israeli media that there would be direct flights between Israel and Saudi Arabia for the first time transporting Haj pilgrims.
