Emirates has taken off to Tel Aviv, marking the airline’s first passenger flight to Israel.
Flight EK931 departed with 335 passengers, including a VIP delegation and Israeli media onboard at 1220hrs local time.
The new daily service will provide Israeli travellers convenient access to Dubai, with easy connections to popular holiday destinations like Australia, Philippines, the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam.
Emirates will also offer convenient access into Tel Aviv from diverse points across its network with multiple daily and weekly flights.
In addition to its latest destination, Tel Aviv, Emirates will also be restarting services to London Stansted, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires and Christchurch this year.
The aircraft for today’s inaugural flight was the Boeing 777 Gamechanger, featuring the world’s only fully-enclosed First Class private suites with virtual windows.
Emirates will then operate its three-class Boeing 777-300ER on the route.
