Oman opens airspace for Israeli airline

Dubai: Oman's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said that the Gulf Arab state's airspace would be open for all civilian carriers. The move would enable Israeli airlines to utilize a Saudi-Oman corridor to cut flight times to Asia. "Enforcing international and local requirements against discrimination in dealing with civilian aircraft, the Civil Aviation Authority confirms that the sultanate's airspace is open to all carriers that meet the requirements of overflying," the CAA said in a statement posted on its Twitter account.
