Etihad Airways announces new route to Israel

Etihad Airways will launch daily scheduled year-round flights to Tel Aviv, the economic and technological centre of Israel.

The new service effective from March 28, 2021, will provide greater choice and convenience for point-to-point business and leisure travellers between the UAE and Israel, the airline said in a statement on Monday, Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported.

Departures will be timed to connect via Abu Dhabi to key gateways across the Etihad network including China, India, Thailand and Australia.

The launch of flights follows the normalisation of diplomatic ties between the two nations, and the signing of the Abraham Accords between the UAE and Israel in Washington D.C. on September 15.
