Emirates has announced that passengers whose final destination is Tel Aviv will no longer be permitted to board flights at their point of origin. This new policy, published on the airline's website on Wednesday, affects Israeli travelers attempting to return home via connecting flights operated by Flydubai through the Emirates. Israelis currently in destinations across the Far East, including Japan, India, the Philippines, and Vietnam, who were scheduled to fly back through Dubai, are now stranded and unable to depart from their current locations. Lior Segal, who is in Hanoi, Vietnam, with his family, expressed frustration, stating they paid thousands of dollars for these flights and are due to return in three days. "We are in real uncertainty because there is no organized announcement," Segal said, adding that passengers are not being provided with information. He noted that those flying with Emirates must now remain in their country of origin and cannot travel to Dubai at all.
