Last week, a private Israeli airline announced the launch of special commercial flights to the Emirates and other Gulf countries.

After failing to sign air agreements between Israel and the UAE, the flights will land for five minutes in Sharm el-Sheikh, Amman or Larnaka, and then continue their route through Saudi Arabia as a way around the ban. 

The Israeli company referred to is "Gashir Avery" (air bridge), which provides administrative aviation services, and published on its site last week publicly and for the first time for direct flights from Israel to the Gulf countries.

The target destinations are: Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), Dubai and Abu Dhabi (Emirates), Qatar and "other emirates" in the Gulf.

The company writes that this service is “private and challenging. It gives our customers a special alternative to finding solutions appropriate to their business needs” in addition to “families concerned with enjoying the privacy of the Persian Gulf”.

Most of the company’s clients are businessmen, as the company added “Because of the personal privacy and maintaining the privacy of our customers, we will not mention the travelers’ names. Our relations with the Gulf are very hot. There are Israelis who have been in Dubai and Abu Dhabi for years and have a relationship Very good".

The price of a single trip amounts to tens of thousands of shekels.

Earlier this month, the Ynet website revealed that the medical equipment Israel obtained at the height of the Corona outbreak in March came from the UAE on the evening of March 26, via a Ukrainian plane that landed at Ben Gurion Airport, with the efforts of the Mossad.

According to the site, the equipment included a hundred thousand test kit.

The plane flew, according to "Ynet" directly from Abu Dhabi airport to Ben Gurion Airport, and after that several Emirati planes carrying medical equipment arrived in Israel.
