After some Israeli carriers have already announced flight connections from Tel Aviv to Dubai, Etihad Airways is now following suit: The golf carrier has announced the start of a daily connection from Abu Dhabi to Tel Aviv.

This is to begin on March 28, 2021. Etihad wants to integrate these into the waves so that transfers to numerous destinations are possible. The route will initially be served with medium-haul Airbus A321 jets. The establishment of flight connections between the United Arab Emirates and Israel is the result of the fact that the two states broke the decades-long ice age, established official diplomatic relations and established a joint aviation agreement. At the beginning of the year that would have been inconceivable. Israel also reached agreements with Bahrain and Jordan that will lead to new flight connections.
