Israel Aerospace Industries is proceeding with a plan to establish a presence in Abu Dhabi, where it will convert Emirates aircraft into freighters, highlighting how the United Arab Emirates remains committed to building ties with Israel even as tensions rise in the region.
The aviation arm of IAI, which provides maintenance repair and overhaul services for aircraft, is set to reconfigure 10 Boeing Co. 777s from Emirates’ fleet into cargo freighters at two hangars starting in October, Shmuel Kuzi, the executive vice president of the division, said in an interview.
