Saudi airline cancels contract after plane taken to Israel

Saudi Arabian Airlines canceled a contract with a Portuguese company for taking an off-duty airliner with Saudi Arabian Airlines branding for maintenance at Ben Gurion International Airport in Israel, a Saudi newspaper reported Sunday.

Last week, footage surfaced on social networking sites of the aircraft on the tarmac in Israel.

The plane was taken to Israel on Wednesday for routine maintenance by Hi Fly, a Lisbon-based airplane leasing company.

According to Arab News, the airline, the Saudi government-owned Saudia, canceled the contract after the plane aroused a firestorm among Israel’s curious media.
