QUOTE:

"In an internal communication to employees, it has been revealed that as of June 15, 2021, Emirates will launch daily nonstop flights between Dubai (DXB) and Tel Aviv (TLV).

Emirates plans to use a three cabin Boeing 777-300ER for the route, and it should be operated with the following schedule:

EK931 Dubai to Tel Aviv departing 2:40PM arriving 5:05PM
EK932 Tel Aviv to Dubai departing 7:50PM arriving 11:50PM

Flights between the two countries are allowed to use airspace of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, significantly cutting down travel time compared to the circuitous routing that would otherwise be needed."
