UAE airline flydubai has announced that it would start direct fights to Israel this month, with twice-daily services between Dubai and Tel Aviv.
Dubai’s state-owned flydubai will operate 14 weekly services between the UAE’s and Israel’s financial capitals from Nov 26, it said on its website. Tickets for those flights were now on sale.
Dubai’s Emirates, the UAE’s biggest airline, will sell tickets on the flydubai service through a codeshare agreement between the carriers, an Emirates spokeswoman said, according to Reuters.
