Palestine Airways (also: Palestine Air Transport) was an airline founded by Zionist Pinhas Rutenberg, in British Mandatory Palestine in conjunction with the Histadrut and the Jewish Agency.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.iaf.org.il/2986-4368-en/IAF.aspx )〕In 1937 the airline was taken over by British Government's Air Ministry, with the intention of it eventually being transferred back into private hands.〔(http://www.jta.org/1945/07/27/archive/palestine-airways-expects-to-resume-service-shortly-throughout-middle-east )〕 It operated from July 1937 until August 1940, under the aegis of the British corporation Imperial Airways.〔https://www.aiaa.org/Secondary.aspx?id=359〕 ==History== Based in Haifa in July 1937 it commenced commercial flights 3 times a week to Lydda. This line operated for several months, but was discontinued when Arab hostilities worsened, and the danger to passengers travelling from Tel Aviv, the main Jewish population centre, to Lydda Airport through Arab majority territory overland, became too great 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.jewishamericanheritagemonth.com/tag/pinhas-rutenberg )〕 〔(History of Flight Around the World - Israel )〕In October 1938 Palestinian Airways moved its main base to the newly built Tel Aviv Airport (in 1940 renamed Sde Dov) and commenced operations on the Tel Aviv to Haifa route, flying twice a day in their de Havilland Rapide.〔http://www.iaf.org.il/3025-4403-en/IAF.aspx 〕The route was later extended from Haifa to Beirut.〔http://www.timetableimages.com/ttimages/palesta.htm〕 Palestine Airways ceased operations in August 1940 when its aircraft were taken over by the RAF for use in the war effort.〔http://www.gazaairport.com/history.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Palestine Airways」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
