Saudi Arabia allows UAE-Israel flights to use its airspace

Saudi Arabia has allowed all flights to/from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to pass through its airspace, after which Israeli flights will also be able to fly directly to the UAE using Saudi airspace.

According to the details, this permission has been given at a time when the schedule of flights between Israel and the UAE is about to be announced.

In this regard, the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) of Saudi Arabia says that the permission to use the airspace has been granted at the request of the UAE. On the other hand, shortly after the Saudi announcement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, without mentioning Saudi Arabia, said that now Israeli flights will go directly to the UAE.

It should be noted that last month a peace agreement was reached between the UAE and Israel to establish bilateral relations, under which Israel will no longer integrate the Palestinian territories and the two countries will work out a roadmap for bilateral relations.

Two days ago, the first commercial flight from Israel arrived in Abu Dhabi with the United States (US) and Israeli delegations via Saudi territory after Saudi Arabia’s special permission, and it was the first time in history that an Israeli aircraft had used Saudi airspace regularly.

Earlier, in 2018, Saudi Arabia allowed Indian Airlines to use its airspace to fly to Israel.
