Flydubai Passengers Boarding Return Flight to Israel After Saudi Landing
Passengers from a Flydubai flight that made an emergency landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, began boarding a replacement aircraft on Wednesday to return to Israel. The Emirati airline provided the aircraft after Saudi Arabia denied permission for Israeli Air Force rescue planes to land in the country. The passengers are expected to arrive at Ben Gurion Airport between 6:00 PM and 7:00 PM Israel time. The Israel Airports Authority has opened a waiting and information area for the passengers' families in the arrivals hall for domestic flights at Terminal 1.
