Europe nixes landing rights for El Al planes with IDF cargo
Haaretz ^ | 9/4/06 | Zohar Blumenkrantz

A number of European states are refusing to allow El Al cargo planes carrying Israel Defense Forces equipment from stopover landings in their airports.

The refusal came from states considered friendly with Israel, including Britain, Germany and Italy, according to Captain Etai Regev, the chairman of El Al's pilots' union. Regev called this "a substantial blow to state defense." In his letter, Regev complained about the government's decision last month to allow Italy's flag carrier, Alitalia, to fly Israeli state employees abroad for the first time. "Israel's response to this is the transfer of labor to Italian pilots at the cost of Israeli pilots," he wrote.
