Representatives of international airlines who inspected the Kalandria Airport, just north of this city, indicated today that the field might be used for overseas flights.
The airport was relatively undamaged in the six-day war and the Israelis found it suitable for use but announced plans to expand it. The airport was incorporated into the new boundaries of Israel’s capital at the time the Old City was unified with the new. The field can now handle the French-built Caravelle jet passenger planes. Regular service to Tel Aviv and Eilat will begin from Kalandria this week.
