Israeli carrier says Turkish workers refused to refuel plane
Text size
Israel's national airline El Al said Sunday that its Warsaw-Tel Aviv flight was not allowed to refuel at Antalya airport after making an emergency landing to medically evacuate a passenger.
Turkish workers at Antalya airport refused to refuel flight LY5102 before it could take off for Israel, El Al said in a statement.
“Local workers refused to refuel the airline's plane even though it was a medical case,” he added, specifying that the passenger had been evacuated.
The plane then took off for Rhodes in Greece where “it will refuel before taking off for Israel,” the airline said.
Relations between Turkey and Israel have deteriorated since the outbreak of the Gaza war on October 7, with all direct flights between the two countries canceled since then.
Turkish diplomatic sources confirmed that the plane was allowed to make an emergency landing to evacuate a sick passenger.
“Fuel was to be provided to the plane for humanitarian reasons, but as the relevant procedure was about to be completed, the captain decided to leave on his own,” a Turkish diplomatic source said.
The Israeli newspaper The Times of Israel said the plane remained on the tarmac in Antalya for several hours before taking off for Rhodes.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has sharply criticized Israel's military campaign in Gaza and has often expressed support for the Palestinian militant group Hamas as defender of their homeland.
Hamas is listed as a terrorist organization by Israel, the United States and the European Union, among others.
The war between Israel and Hamas broke out after Hamas attacked southern Israel on October 7, which left 1,195 people dead, mostly civilians, according to an AFP report based on official Israeli figures.
Israel's retaliatory military offensive has killed at least 37,877 people in Gaza, also mostly civilians, according to the Hamas-controlled territory's health ministry.
