A junior crew member working on board a Ryanair flight en route to Tel Aviv told passengers that “we are approaching Palestine” as the plane began its routine descent this week.
The flight, which was headed from the Italian city of Bologna, was on its way to Ben Gurion International Airport - located in the densely populated district of Tel Aviv, considered by some to be located in Palestine and by others to be in Israel.
The incident, which according to the budget airline was simply the result of a mistake, sparked a great deal of debate online, with many people posting on social media about the on-board occurrence.
