Emirates is to start daily flights between Dubai and Tel Aviv from December 6, the airline announced on Thursday, in the latest sign of deepening ties between the UAE and Israel since generalized relationship last September.
The Dubai-based carrier, one of the largest in the world, said the new service would also connect Israel to its global route network.
Low-cost carrier flydubai launched the first commercial flights between Tel Aviv and Dubai just months after last year’s agreement.
Abu Dhabi-based airline Etihad and Israeli carrier Arkia also now offer regular flights.
The United Arab Emirates’ normalizing its ties with Israel in a deal brokered by the administration of then-US President Donald Trump broke decades of Arab consensus and angered Palestinians and their supporters.
