Israeli airlines are set to operate flights to bring stranded individuals back from the United Arab Emirates, following a temporary suspension of services by Flydubai to and from Israel. The decision by Flydubai came after one of its aircraft made an emergency landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, en route from Dubai to Tel Aviv. A replacement aircraft was dispatched to bring passengers back to Israel.
In response to the disruption caused by Flydubai's cancellations, El Al announced it would arrange special flights to repatriate Israelis currently in the UAE. These flights are contingent on obtaining approval from security authorities.
The first El Al flights are expected to depart tomorrow, with a fixed ticket price of $249. The airline confirmed that its planes would fly from Tel Aviv to the UAE empty to pick up passengers.
