Airlines Urge Shin Bet Chief to Approve Resumption of Dubai Flights

Translated & summarized from Channel 13 by baba
The story · English

Israeli airlines have appealed to Shin Bet Director Ronen Bar, requesting approval to resume flights to Dubai. The airlines, which halted services to the United Arab Emirates following the outbreak of the war, emphasized the significant economic importance of the route, particularly during the Sukkot holiday and winter months, as a warm-weather destination. They informed Bar of the substantial financial losses incurred due to the flight suspension.

The carriers urged the Shin Bet chief to either resolve the security crisis or permit flights to operate under the pre-October 8th security protocols. The disruption affects not only airlines but also Israeli passengers, with 16 daily El Al and Etihad flights from Ben Gurion Airport currently fully booked.

Flights to the UAE were suspended after the UAE rejected new security requirements mandated by the Shin Bet for Israeli flights. This refusal led to reduced flight schedules and a surge in ticket prices, with some exceeding $1,000.
