The Prime Minister Netanyahu announces at Ben Gurion Airport that there will be direct flights from Israel to Dubai over Saudi Arabia.
The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived on Monday with Transport Minister Miri Regev, for a visit and examination at Ben Gurion Airport before the opening of the skies. “This will give a boost to tourism in Israel,” he said. “There will be direct flights from Tel Aviv to Abu Dhabi and vice versa.”
Netanyahu added: “Dubai has one of the largest free trade zones in the world. They come here with raw products, produce goods at low prices and now those goods will come to Israel and depreciate the citizens’ products.” He explained that this means: “The cost of living will be cheaper and the standard of living will rise.”
Transport Minister Miri Regev said: “When we said we would open the skies in August, yesterday we were told that 5,000 passengers were leaving Israel for Bulgaria, Croatia and parts of Greece.
In France the situation is better than in Bulgaria and it is not on the list. Also, if Israelis can move between countries without being stranded, then why can’t tourists from green countries come here?”
Minister Regev added, “Every two weeks, additional destinations are opened to Israelis.”
This morning, the first flight from Israel to Greece landed in Athens, but the flight did not go smoothly. Some passengers only learned at the airport that they had to bring a Coronavirus document with their name on it in English and therefore did not board the flight. The new instructions were not clear to some passengers, who only when they arrived at the airport discovered that they could not board because they had not brought the correct document.
