Etihad Airways, the official airline of the United Arab Emirates, has removed Israel from its in-flight map; the New York Post reported.
Etihad Airways is a partner of the American Airlines and receives
annual support to the amount of $425,000 from the US Department of
Homeland Security which administers customs clearance at Abu Dhabi
International Airport. The facility allows passengers travelling to the
United States to clear customs more easily and reduces waiting times.
The Etihad Airways in-flight map lists the names of all neighbouring
countries including: Jordan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Cyprus, but does
not mention Israel or any of its main cities.
