Residents of the Gaza Strip may soon be able to fly to Turkey via Israel's Ramon Airport near Eilat.
The pilot program could start as early as July when two flights are anticipated, Channel 12 reported.
The final decision is subject to the approval of security and political concerns. Gaza sources say the flights will be available to residents ages 35 and older.
They will be shuttled to the airport from the Erez crossing to the northern Gaza Strip. At present, Gazans travel via the Erez crossing by land to Jordan and fly abroad from there.
