A commercial flight from the UAE landed for the first time, at Ben Gurion International Airport on Monday.
The Etihad 787-10 Dreamliner arrived with 58 passengers on board and was greeted in a festive ceremony.
„We are very excited to be here,“ the flight’s captain Saleh Abdullah said. „Hopefully this is the beginning of a good relationship between UAE and Israel and if someone asked me a few months ago if I would be here making a speech in Tel Aviv, I would have said this is impossible,“ he said.
