Etihad Aviation Training (EAT) has signed a contract with Israel’s Israir Airlines to provide full-flight simulator training for Israir’s Airbus A320 pilots as the recent normalization of diplomatic relations between the United Arab Emirates and the Jewish state breeds still tighter commercial ties between the countries. The agreement calls for Israir to dry lease EAT’s simulators and for Israir instructors to conduct training at Etihad’s training facility in Abu Dhabi.

The first-ever official commercial flight between Israel and the United Arab Emirates took place on August 31, two weeks before an exchange of ambassadors and a White House ceremony to finalize the normalization of relations between the two countries took place in Washington, D.C. On October 19, Etihad Airways staged the first-ever commercial passenger flight by a Gulf Cooperation Council country to Israel, when the Abu Dhabi-based carrier brought Israeli delegations from Tel Aviv to the UAE capital for a two-day visit.
