Egypt Air, the largest airline in Egypt, has removed Israel from the map literally. On its website, Ynet has learned, Jordan's land reaches the Mediterranean Sea.
The airline's subsidiary, Air Sinai, flies to Israel regularly, but customers seeking flights to Ben Gurion National Airport will have a hard time finding them. On the map are the names of the Mideast capitals Amman, Beirut, and Damascus but Israel is nowhere to be found.
Jordan stretches to sea in online map
Egypt Air is the first large airline to have omitted the state from its map of destinations. Other airlines based in Muslim countries, such as Turkish Airlines and Royal Jordanian, include Israel and Tel Aviv on its maps.
The omission is especially odd seeing as the company continues to fly to Israel four times a week. Cairo-Tel Aviv flights were temporarily halted following the recent uprising that overturned the government, but were then reinstated. There has also been an increase in passengers on Air Sinai's flights. According to the Airports Authority, the airline saw an increase of 27% in 2010 from the year previous.

On January 14, 2009, Bolivia and Venezuela suspended diplomatic ties with Israel, and on January 16, 2009, Qatar suspended economic ties after Bashar al-Assad and Khaled Meshaal called on all Arab states to break ties with the Jewish state in the wake of the 20082009 IsraelGaza conflict. On March 6, 2009, the Israeli diplomatic delegation to Mauritania left after nine years of diplomatic ties, following a demand from the Mauritanian authorities to close the Israeli embassy in Nouakchott within 48 hours.[11] The Mauritanian delegation to Israel left earlier without sending official notice to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[12] In September 2009, the Maldives restored diplomatic relations with Israel, 15 years suspending them.[13] On June 2, 2010 Nicaragua suspended diplomatic ties with Israel in response to the Gaza flotilla raid.[14]
