so where do the Rome FCO departures to TLV come in the political restrictions.
Based on political restrictions in game none of these flights are permitted, yet they fly in the real world.
Basically, AE won't add 'special' unrestricted routes, as has been said before. For example, SAS get government backing to fly from Scandinavia, this is not implemented to AE.
Another 'special' routing is Fifth Freedom routes.
Examples of Fifth Freedoms include:
Singapore Airlines SIN-MUC-MAN-MUC-SIN
Kuwait Airlines KUW-LHR-JFK-LHR-KUW
Biman Bangladeshi serve LHR-MAN also. I have just named a few examples of Fifth freedoms, something again not in AE. But also just to clear it up, fifth freedoms are not stop overs (which are coming to AE). Stop overs are just fuel stops on the route, for example Qantas on SYD-DXB-LHR or Singapore on SIN-FRA-JFK. Fifth freedoms are individual flights in themselves, usually coming off the back of another flight.
But the final and way Easyjet would do it is fly from the deregulated country (EG, Italy) to a different country (EG Isreal) after applying for the route and talking it out with all the respectable governments and authorities etc.
TL:DR = Easyjet talk it out with people to get special routes.
