ETIHAD OPERATES FIRST COMMERCIAL PASSENGER FLIGHT TO ISRAEL

ETIHAD AIRWAYS has made history as the first GCC carrier to operate a commercial passenger flight to and from Israel. The service, operated by an Etihad Boeing 787 Dreamliner and flown in partnership with the Maman Group, brought Israel’s top travel and tourism leaders from Tel Aviv to the UAE on October 19.

Etihad Aviation Group Chairman His Excellency Mohamed Mubarak Fadhel Al Mazrouei hailed the flight an “historic opportunity for the development of strong partnerships” between the UAE and Israel. Etihad is also the first non-Israeli airline in the Middle East to launch a dedicated website for the Israeli market in Hebrew.

Also available in English, the Israeli version of the airline’s official website contains digital content on Etihad’s operations, product, services and network, as well as an Abu Dhabi destination guide.

The site can be viewed in Hebrew at www.etihad.com/he-il and in English at www.etihad.com/en-il.
