SINGAPORE, 19 April 2023: Emirates will expand its presence in Israel by adding a third daily flight starting 1 May.
A positive indicator of heightened demand for travel to and from Israel, the additional service will take weekly Emirates flights serving Tel Aviv to 21, providing customers with more direct flights to Dubai and enhanced connectivity options to the rest of the Emirates network.
Emirates’ third-daily flight to Tel Aviv will operate with a Boeing 777-300ER offering an additional 360 seats. EK935 departs Dubai at 1930 and arrives in Tel Aviv at 2200. EK936 leaves Tel Aviv at 2355, arriving in Dubai at 0405 the next day.
The additional frequency complements the existing double-daily services to and from Tel Aviv. It offers a broader schedule with more flexibility and increased access for customers venturing onwards to destinations across the airline’s gateways in North and South America, the Far East and Africa. Customers can reach popular destinations like Thailand, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Vietnam and Sri Lanka easily and with shorter transit times. The third flight will also offer additional connecting options for customers travelling from Australia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Brazil, the UAE, Japan and South Africa, and the airline’s 18 points across North and South America. The additional service also helps to meet the strong demand from these destinations, many of which are home to large Jewish communities.
Since June 2022, over 180,000 passengers have travelled on Emirates between Dubai and Tel Aviv. Dubai continues to build its appeal as an attractive destination for Israeli visitors, offering them both luxury and value with an extensive array of leisure and family activities to suit every taste and hotels for all budgets. According to the latest annual report released by Ben Gurion Airport, Dubai ranked as the top outbound destination by passenger volumes in 2022*. The new flight schedule has been conveniently timed to offer travellers the full-day experience in Dubai, helping them maximise their time in the city with an early arrival and late departure.
Customers can also use Emirates’ partnership with flydubai when booking travel and choosing from an even more robust schedule of over seven daily codeshare flights.
The third daily flight will also offer exporters and local businesses an additional 20 tonnes of belly-hold capacity on every flight through Emirates SkyCargo, helping transport key Israeli exports like fruits and vegetables, pharmaceuticals, industrial machinery and electronics, metals, and other high-value goods to the UAE and other international markets.
Tickets can be purchased on emirates.com, Emirates Sales Offices, via travel agents or online travel agents.
