El Al flight buzzes Riyadh on way to Abu Dhabi
El Al flight LY971 has passed over Riyadh and is approaching the airspace of the UAE, according to flight-tracking radar.
The charter flight is the first commercial Israeli jetliner to openly use Saudi Arabian airspace.
It is set to reach the UAE’s airspace in the coming moments and will land in about 25 minutes.
The El Al flight to the UAE flew right over Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, according to online flight charts.
Even without landing for an intermediate stop, it's an amazing flight that was in Riyadh air controllers' supervision.
