Diplomatic sources reported that an aircraft belonging to El Al Airlines, flying from Warsaw, the capital of Poland, to Tel Aviv, the capital of Israel, made an emergency landing at Antalya Airport. However, allegations that there was a problem with fuel supply despite permission for the emergency landing have been denied. ISRAELI PLANE MAKES EMERGENCY LANDING IN ANTALYAThere were tense moments on the El Al Airlines flight departing from Warsaw, the capital of Poland, and heading to Tel Aviv, Israel. A passenger on the plane fell ill. The pilots obtained the necessary permissions and made an emergency landing at Antalya Airport. PILOT OF THE PLANE REFUSED TO REFUELWhile it was claimed that airport officials did not allow the plane to refuel, the truth turned out to be different. In a statement from diplomatic sources, it was stated, "Permission was granted for the emergency landing of the plane due to the sick passenger. Fuel was supposed to be provided to the plane for humanitarian reasons, but the captain decided to leave voluntarily while the relevant procedure was being completed." In some news reports in the Israeli media, it was claimed that fuel supply to the plane was rejected by Antalya Airport officials due to the airline being based in Israel.
