Etihad flying to Doha now-rivalry over?

 Etihad is now flying to Doha. Few years ago UAE had blamed Qatar as terrorist state, banned Qatar airways from using UAE airspace and lots of drama had happened.

Looks like now the things are sorted. I see Etihad airways offering flights to Doha via Abu Dhabi

Similarly flybubai and Qatar are flying between Doha and Dubai (DXB)

This also means Qatar can fly over Egypt or other middle east countries and flight time to US could be shorter.

More details on Wikipedia here. I think I just noticed it 6 months late.

Good to know...
