Comment thread "Not open for long" for Yasser Arafat International Airport
Comments 1 to 1 of 1 in the thread "Not open for long" (Yasser Arafat International Airport):
This airport opened in 1998 in the wake of the Oslo Peace Accords, but Israel shut it down by bombing the control tower and radar in 2001, then bulldozing the runway in 2002. The Palestinian Authority continued to staff the airport, including ticket counters, until 2006, though it was not operational. It had been the home base for Palestinian Airlines, which moved across the border to Egypt after the airport closed.
