Despite the good booking situation, the golf carrier Emirates Airline has decided to postpone the start of non-stop flights between Dubai and Tel Aviv. The background is that Israel closes the borders for foreigners again.

Emirates had announced that it would fly daily between the two cities from December 6, 2021. The use of the Boeing 777-300ER large-capacity unit is also due to the high demand. Because of the border closure for foreigners announced by the government of Israel, which will initially apply for two weeks, the golf carrier is postponing the first flight.

Only a few weeks ago, Israel was back for open to foreign tourists, but immediately after the omicron mutation became known the closure again. It is expected that this will last longer and will not end after two weeks.
