Emirates, a major airline, announced midday that passengers whose final destination is Tel Aviv will no longer be permitted to board flights to Dubai that connect to Israel. The airline stated that its codeshare operations with Flydubai on routes to and from Tel Aviv are suspended immediately and until further notice. Customers already en route to Tel Aviv will receive assistance to complete their journeys. Affected passengers are advised to contact their travel agent or Emirates customer service, or visit the airline's website for the latest updates.
Earlier, the Ministry of Transport confirmed that Flydubai has also suspended its flights to and from Israel. To provide an alternative, Israeli airlines will begin operating repatriation flights starting tomorrow, pending final security approvals, to bring Israelis back from the United Arab Emirates. Concurrently, an urgent request was made from Israel yesterday to increase the number of Etihad Airways flights from Abu Dhabi. Further details are forthcoming.
