Despite of having no diplomatic ties with Israel, PIA has given one of its plane for shooting of an Israeli movie.
According to a private news channel, Israelis are producing a film based on historical events of Operation Entebbe.
Operation Entebbe was a hostage-rescue mission carried out by Israeli Army (IDF) at Entebbe Airport in Uganda on 4 July 1976. A week earlier, on 27 June, an Air France plane with 248 passengers had been hijacked by two members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - External Operations (PFLP-EO), and two members of the German Revolutionary Cells.
Israel is now filming this event in a movie in which PIA has provided one of its plane. PIA officials have confirmed that the plane has arrived in Malta for the shooting.
Sources have said that PIA chairman, who is a foreigner, has given this permission to use the plane without the approval of the government.
