Emirates Seeks Approval for Historic Seventh-Freedom Route Between Tel Aviv and New York
Emirates is reportedly seeking regulatory approval to operate a new route between Tel Aviv, Israel, and New York. This service would be operated under seventh-freedom rights, allowing the UAE-based airline to carry passengers between two foreign countries. Israel's Ministry of Transport has allegedly already given its consent for the new flight. The final decision now rests with the United States Department of Transportation for final approval. If launched, the route would introduce significant new competition for US and Israeli carriers on the popular transatlantic corridor.
