Etihad Airways has resumed flights to Tel Aviv, marking a key step in restoring air connectivity between Israel and the Gulf region. Flights are now operating to Ben Gurion Airport, re-establishing an important international link for both business and leisure travelers.
The resumed service reconnects Tel Aviv with Abu Dhabi International Airport, enabling seamless onward connections to multiple global destinations, particularly across the United States and Asia. This strengthens Etihad’s network reach and provides travelers with more routing options through its Abu Dhabi hub.
Notably, Etihad’s return comes at a time when major US carriers such as American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines have yet to resume operations in the Israeli market, giving the airline a strategic advantage in capturing demand on key international routes.
The development is expected to support the gradual recovery of air travel in the region, while reinforcing economic and tourism ties between Israel and the UAE. It also reflects growing confidence among airlines in restoring services as travel demand steadily returns.
