As far as I can remember, airlines have generally flown south of Israel on similar routings. Is this something new, or have I just been sleeping in class?
It wouldn't surprise me at all. Why would the Saudis care about a German plane if they're already letting Israeli planes overfly? Plus don't countries get money from airlines that overfly their territory?
Just checked flight trackers, and the same flight took the same routing on other days in November.
