On Wednesday Israel and the European Union signed a preliminary agreement that would greatly ease restrictions on air travel between Israel and European states, Israel's transport ministry said.
The memorandum of understanding is part of negotiations between Israel and the European Union on an "open skies" agreement. Israeli Transport Minister Shaul Mofaz, who met a European aviation delegation on Wednesday, said the agreement will allow for additional airlines to compete on routes to the Jewish state. "We are talking about Israeli consent to make changes in current aviation agreements with European states which will allow European carriers to fly to Israel under the auspices of current bilateral agreements," Mofaz said.
Last month, Israel's government agreed to pay 80 percent of Israeli flag carrier El Al's security costs in return for dropping its exclusivity on routes. El Al's security costs are estimated at $100 million a year. That deal will allow rival Israeli carriers to expand their routes to destinations in Europe, the Far East, and North America.
