Detours caused by the closed airspace could increase the travel time of flights from Israel to countries like Georgia and Azerbaijan by almost two hours.

Turkey has decided to completely sever all commercial and economic ties with Israel and is closing its airspace to Israeli planes, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Friday.

While the economic consequences of this move are yet to be seen, detours caused by the closed airspace could increase the travel time of flights from Israel to countries such as Georgia and Azerbaijan by almost two hours.

An Israeli official told The Jerusalem Post: "Turkey has already announced severing economic relations with Israel in the past (and the relations continued)."

The move comes following reports that Turkish port authorities have begun informally requiring shipping agents to provide letters declaring that vessels are not linked to Israel and not carrying military or hazardous cargo bound for the country.

Sadly this is mostly a smokeshow, and the actual impact is going to be much smaller than advertised. The sad fact is that a lot of Israel's oil comes from Azerbaijan, and shipped through Turkey. And cutting that is still off the table.

Erdoğan is very weak right now. And the last thing he wants is to pick another fight.

Before you claim support for any of the sides, keep in mind that the trigger for this action was that Netanjahu said in the live interview that he recognized Armenian Genocide.

Pretty hypocritical of him, yes.

"The minister's comments refer to official Israeli flights and flights carrying weapons or ammunition to Israel. This does not apply to transit commercial flights," the source said.

He added that commercial flights through its airspace would remain unchanged.

[–] AlexanderTheDead@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The title is the misinformation. The contents of the article are, apparently, not accurately represented by the title.
