Could Israel and Turkey hold the key to an Ukrainian-Russia peace deal

Could Israel and Turkey hold the key to a Ukrainian-Russian peace deal? AirlineRatings.com does not normally get involved in political issues but this tragedy in Ukraine is different - very different. We are, like so many, monitoring aircraft activity and what has become clear is that two countries - Turkey and Israel - are keeping dialogue and flights open. READ: Qatar Airways adding more flights to meet Australian demand Over the past few days, there has been a shuttle of VIP jets flying between Tel Aviv, Istanbul, and Moscow, while Turkish Airlines flights are shuttling back and forwards to Moscow from Istanbul. The Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett met Russian President Vladimir Putin for three hours in the Kremlin on Saturday and then spoke by phone with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky. No details have been released of the discussions but the VIP flights continue. And Russian oligarchs, who have significant power in Russia continue to fly their private jets to Israel. Let us pray that a solution to this ghastly situation can be found. Here are some screenshots of flights over the past two days showing just some of the activity.

Airlineratings.com was developed to provide everyone in the world a one-stop-shop for everything related to airlines, formed by a team of aviation editors, who have forensically researched nearly every airline in the world. Our rating system is rated from one to seven stars on safety – with seven being the highest ranking. Within each airline you will find the country of origin, airline code, booking URL and seat map information. The rating system takes into account a number of different factors related to audits from aviation’s governing bodies, lead associations as well as the airlines own safety data. Every airline has a safety rating breakdown so you can see exactly how they rate. Over 230 of the airlines on the site that carry 99 per cent of the world’s passengers have a product rating. Given that low cost, regional and full service carriers are so different we have constructed a different rating system for each which can be found within each airline.
