This is a formidable partnership in the making and business leaders view the deal as a crucial development in promoting bilateral trade. «The signing of the Abraham Accord is a significant event for both the UAE and Israel, opening the doors to socio-economic opportunities for both countries. Aside from the prospect of establishing air transport links for passengers and cargo, there can be broader collaboration across the travel, aviation and aerospace industries. These are sectors where both the UAE and Israel have strong experience, and we hope to foster a mutually beneficial exchange of talent, research and other initiatives.», said Shaikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Group, and Chairman of flydubai (source: Gulf News).
