DUBAI: Emirates Airline will commence daily flights between Dubai and Tel Aviv from Dec. 6, marking the UAE carrier’s first flights to Israel following the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries in 2020.

According to a report published in Khalij Times, the route will be operated with a three-class Boeing 777-300ER, which includes first-class suites.

Passengers traveling between the UAE and Israel do not have to hold visas, which Emirates said will be a boost for its service, the report said.

The route announcement comes as the UAE and Israel continue to develop greater economic cooperation to drive growth across a range of sectors, in addition to boosting trade flows between both nations.
