- Affected passengers should contact travel agents or Emirates.
Emirates airline has announced the immediate suspension of its codeshare flights with Flydubai to and from Tel Aviv, effective until further notice. The decision comes in the wake of a security incident involving a Flydubai flight.
Under the new arrangement, passengers whose final destination is Tel Aviv will not be permitted to board at their point of origin if their journey involves a connecting flight through the codeshare agreement. However, passengers already en route to Tel Aviv will receive assistance from the airlines to complete their travel.
Emirates advises affected passengers to contact their travel agent, the company's service center, or check the Emirates website for updates. This move follows similar disruptions in flight operations on the Dubai-Tel Aviv route, including Flydubai's own flight freeze due to the security situation and operational restrictions on flights to and from Israel, stemming from a plane hijacking incident the previous day.
