Israir announced tonight (Monday) that it has received permission to take off tomorrow for the United Arab Emirates, and to pass through the airspace of Saudi Arabia. An American source said that the issue of flight permits for Israeli airlines in Saudi Arabia to the UAE and Bahrain had been resolved. This, after talks between Jared Kushner, senior adviser to President Donald Trump, and White House envoy Avi Berkovich, with senior officials in Saudi Arabia. During the conversation between the parties, the Saudis clarified what should be the technical mechanism for approving these flights from now on.
Senior Israeli officials point out that it was not clear why the Saudis were not giving permission for the flights that were expected to fly to Dubai tomorrow, so Israel turned to the US administration and asked for help. The Americans approached the Saudis who made it clear that the request for transit permits in the airspace had not been properly forwarded and requested that from now on the transit requests would be forwarded through other channels. After the issue was clarified, the Saudis gave the permits to move to flights.
The Israir flight will depart tomorrow at 10:00, and its passengers will enjoy a significant reduction in flight time to the destination of about three hours. On flights that do not pass over the airspace of Saudi Arabia, the route causes a significant extension of the flight time and makes it unprofitable. Israir will be the first to launch a daily route of two flights, with Arkia joining it from Thursday and El Al will launch its own route starting on December 9.
Until now, the ban applies to Israeli companies, and foreign companies such as "Play Dubai" and "Air India" that operate flights to Israel pass through the country's skies.
