Israel wants Italy to allow its planes to fly to destinations in the country other than Rome and Milan. The Italian minister promised to work towards that possibility. Israel is also seeking to enroll El Al in the international "Sky Team" aviation alliance, which would enable the Israeli carrier to cooperate more closely with European and American carriers, including Italy's Alitalia.
Katz told his guest that Israel was seeking Italy's help in the field of commercial air transportation because "our skies are closed because of the political situation in this area," with Israel unable to cooperate with any of the airlines in the Arab world.
