JERUSALEM, Oct 19 (NNN-MA’AN) – Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), agreed to operate 28 commercial flights per week, between Tel Aviv and Abu Dhabi or Dubai, Israel’s transportation ministry said in a statement, yesterday.
The agreement also allows an unlimited number of charter flights, to the smaller Ramon Airport, outside Israel’s southern resort city of Eilat.
Additionally, some 10 cargo flights could be operated per week, under the deal.
The flights in the new route are expected to begin in a few weeks, according to the ministry.
The agreement comes after a U.S.-brokered normalisation deal between the UAE and Israel was signed at the White House on Sept 15.
