According to the details we have, the company will operate the flights on the route between Dubai and Tel Aviv on the company’s Boeing 777 aircraft. These are wide-body aircraft with about 360 seats. The flights will land in the country shortly after 16:00 and will take off about two hours later back to Dubai.

The company submitted a request to operate flights to Israel as early as December, but rejected it due to various reasons. Another request has now been submitted and approved by the Israeli authorities. The company’s flights are scheduled to start on February 15, if there are no unexpected surprises, as we have already experienced recently.
Emirates operates flights to many destinations around the world and will offer the Israeli passenger flights to connecting destinations in Asia, Australia and other regions at attractive prices that are supposed to change the aviation market in Israel.
Another person who is scheduled to operate direct flights to Israel is Etihad from Abu Dhabi. The company is scheduled to operate flights to Israel as early as this coming March, also in this case, only in case there are no unexpected developments.
