Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Airways will start daily flights to Tel Aviv in the first quarter as ties between the United Arab Emirates and Israel strengthen following a diplomatic breakthrough in August.
The new service from March 28 will offer “point-to-point business and leisure travelers between the UAE and Israel,” the state-owed carrier said. The departures will be timed to connect passengers via Abu Dhabi to destinations including those in China, India, Thailand and Australia.
