British Airline cowering to Islam by “erasing Israel” off their map, how long before US airlines follow?

Ajad should be quite happy. According to JPost, Israel has been excluded from digital maps displayed for passengers on British airline BMI flights from London Heathrow to Ben-Gurion Airport.

Instead of viewing Tel Aviv or other Israeli cities signposted on screens, customers flying on two BMI-owned Airbus A320 airplanes have instead been exclusively shown Haifa, spelled “Khefa” – the Arab name of the city before 1948.

BMI, which runs flights to Ben-Gurion Airport twice daily, has declared that the maps are the result of a logistical error due to the company’s failure to modify the system created by British airline BMED (British Mediterranean Airways), now defunct, from which BMI acquired the planes two years ago.

BMED, formerly a franchise of British Airways, was absorbed into BMI in October 2007.

BMED flew primarily to the Middle East – notably to Amman, Beirut and Damascus, but not Israel. The maps were therefore tailored to its Muslim passengers, and also highlighted Islamic holy sites, BMI spokesman Phil Shepherd said.

With the muslim in chief in the White House now, I wonder how long it is before we start seeing US airlines doing the same thing to make sure they “don’t offend muslims”?
