“Welcome to Palestine,” said an Alitalia pilot as he landed in Tel Aviv on Tuesday, causing a stir among passengers and the airline’s Israeli employees, an Alitalia spokesman reportedly said.
The Israeli daily Ha’aretz reported that his announcement came when an overnight flight from the Italian airline Alitalia from Rome to Tel Aviv landed in Tel Aviv.
“We have not spoken to the captain,” said the company’s spokesperson in Israel, Orly Segal to the Israeli daily. “But if this did happen it will not go over quietly.”
According to Segal, “one thing is certain, this captain will not fly to Israel again.”
