- El Al plans to resume Dubai flights in November.

Israeli airline El Al is preparing to resume direct flights between Israel and Dubai in November, following an eight-month suspension. The airline has already outlined its intention to operate at least two flights daily on the Tel Aviv-Dubai route once regulatory approvals are secured. Flights by Israeli carriers to Dubai were halted after Operation "Roaring Lion" due to restrictions that prevented continued operations on the route. This suspension left direct travel to one of the UAE's main destinations closed for approximately eight months.
El Al aims to reincorporate Dubai into its regular flight schedule. While the specific timetable is pending, the airline emphasized that it must first obtain necessary permissions from state authorities. Following this process, El Al plans to release the schedule and commence ticket sales. The planned frequency of at least two daily flights is expected to re-establish regular direct air service between Israel and Dubai.
The announcement comes in the wake of a significant incident on a FlyDubai flight from Dubai to Israel. The potential return of El Al to this route is seen as significant for Israeli passengers, offering another direct flight option between the two countries.
