British airline BMI got in a spot of trouble with its Israeli passengers. It seems that the in-flight map for a couple of trips to Israel failed to include the Jewish state on a list of destinations that BMI flies to.
Bad enough, right? It’s what they included on the map that has Israeli passengers upset as this story from the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reveals:
The airline said the map, which showed the distance to Mecca and other Muslim holy sites, and identified Haifa as Khefa — the Arab name for the city pre-1948 — was tailored to its passengers destined for Arab countries. The two planes bound for Israel that featured the controversial maps originally had been scheduled to fly to an Arab country, according to reports.
Just a big mix up is all. One map for Jews and another map for everyone else.
