CAIRO, (PIC)-- The Egyptian airlines (Egyptair), the official carrier of Egypt, removed Israel from its website as one of the destinations its aircrafts fly to.

Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper said on Wednesday that Israeli passengers who intended to travel via Ben-Gurion airport did not find Israel as a destination on Egyptair website.

The newspaper stated that Egyptair was the first major air company that removed Israel from its map of flights, while airlines like the Turkish and Royal Jordanian still have Israel as a destination.

All flights between Cairo and Israel temporarily stopped after the outbreak of the Egyptian revolution last January.
