Emirates’ catering unit plans to start producing kosher food in the United Arab Emirates to meet growing demand in the Gulf nation after the recent diplomatic breakthrough with Israel.

The production facility, called Kosher Arabia, will be a partnership between Emirates Flight Catering and CCL Holdings, a company founded by the head of the Jewish Council in the UAE. Operations are expected to start in January, according to a statement released by the airline on Thursday.
