history

Palestinian Airlines was founded on January 1st, 1995 and started its business in June 1997 with charter flights to bring pilgrims to Jeddah . The flights were originally intended to depart from Gaza, but due to the ban by the Israeli government, flight operations have been relocated to Port Said in northern Egypt .

The first scheduled flights were on July 23, 1997 from al-Arish airport in Egypt to Jordan and Saudi Arabia . Palestinian Airlines returned to Gaza when the Yasser Arafat International Airport opened there in November 1998. The airline ceased operations as a result of the unrest in October 2000 and was forced to return to Al Arish in December 2001, where it carried out restricted flight operations.
