Why does Flydubai fly to Israel?

Flydubai began direct flights to Israel following the Abraham Accords in 2020, which normalised relations between the UAE and Israel. This diplomatic breakthrough opened up new travel and trade routes, fostering greater connectivity. However, as this incident tragically demonstrates, underlying political and ideological tensions can still manifest, even amidst official peace agreements, posing security challenges for these routes.
