Pilots union publishes planned route of first Israel-UAE commercial flight
The Israeli Airline Pilots Association releases a map of the planned route of the first commercial passenger flight from Israel to the United Arab Emirates, showing the El Al plane will pass over Saudi airspace when it flies to Abu Dhabi tomorrow.
On its Twitter account, the pilots union stresses the route is still not final “and to the best of our knowledge still hasn’t been approved by the Saudis.”
