||Under the new agreement, the designated airlines of each country are entitled to a total of 21 flights per week between any points in the Philippines and Israel.|| - Carmelo Arcilla, executive director at the Philippines' Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB)
||We also agreed on three fifth-freedom flights per week on one intermediate point in Mumbai and one beyond point in Madrid. This means that a Philippine carrier can fly to India, unload and pick up passengers and proceed to Israel, or unload and pick up in Israel and proceed to Madrid. We also agreed on co-terminal and stopover rights to any third country for 21 flights.|| ~ Carmelo Arcilla, executive director at the Philippines' Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB)
His Excellency Menashe Bar-On, the ambassador of Israel to the Philippines: You know Conchitina, something I repeat over and over whenever I make a speech here, is how Israel recognizes that on Nov. 29, 1947, a young fledgling democracy that was then the Philippines, stood next to bigger, more powerful countries in the United Nations, and bravely cast the deciding vote recognizing Israel’s statehood. This is why we will always have an open door policy in Israel for all Filipinos.
