A spokesman for KLM, the Dutch National Airline, has denied that the airline had promised to cease promoting tours to Israel. Responding to a statement issued earlier by the Director General of the Arab Boycott Office in Damascus, the KLM spokesman said the only promise made to the Arabs was not to include the occupied territories in KLM travel folders on tourism in Israel. The spokesman said KLM has long issued travel folders on both Israel and Arab countries and would continue to do so despite the Arab boycott statement that KLM would stop all promotion of travel to Israel.
