Operating flight ETD9607, the Airbus A330-200 (A6-EYP) was all white and didn’t have Etihad’s logo on it. The aircraft brought medical supplies for the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Gaza, mainly equipment for the coronavirus crisis. Since Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) don’t have diplomatic relations or direct flights, yesterday’s flight is regarded as a milestone. Photo: The TLV Spotters.
