No, but only because until now (the J retrofit to be eligible for tenders) there hasn't been a J...
So how do you book?

Anecdotally..

(Bloomberg) Israir, Etihad in Talks on Abu Dhabi Flight Training Facility

Israir Airlines & Tourism Ltd. is in advanced talks with Etihad Airways to use its flight training facility in Abu Dhabi, an arrangement that would allow the airline to transfer its pilot simulator training from Europe to the Gulf.

Israir plans to begin flying to Abu Dhabi in December, it said in a statement. The potential plan to move periodic pilot training would reduce hotel, flight and training costs, Israir said.
The carrier operates four Airbus 320 planes and its 32 pilots currently undertake their periodic training in Amsterdam.

Talks with Etihad were made possible due to the normalization pact between Israel and the United Arab Emirates in September. Last week, the two countries signed agreements on visas and aviation.

Since you're already on the website, how much do the flights cost?

Got a few things to iron out - maybe they're just trying to get a foot in the door?
Also, don't Israelis require a visa - haven't seen the official waiver annouced
Indeed there are many dual-citizens but enough to fill a plane?

Everyone is trying to occupy the space for now. Israir, Arkia, LY, Flydubai.. that's a lot of capacity.

You're right, Israelis still need a visa and vice versa but it will change soon. Once it changes plenty of Israelis will rush there since it's one of the last green countries out there open to them

Yes, impressive. Hope it's read and not just "click through so I can finish already"

Israel Hayom seems to know that Emirates will start flying its 777 to TLV starting December.

Several posts poining to 'official sources', but I haven't seen anything official so far  ;D

Also I'm not an expert but wouldnt be odd to have Emirates on top of Flydubai? Seems like significant excess capacity, especially during pandemic
