El Al and Arkia announced Tuesday evening that rescue flights to bring Israelis back from Dubai to Tel Aviv were expected to begin operating on Wednesday, following security approval. El Al stated it would operate two flights priced at $249 for a LITE ticket, and Arkia also opened sales. Due to security considerations, departing planes from Israel would fly without passengers, and returning flights would not allow passengers to board with suitcases or carry-on luggage. However, at the last minute, the Emirates canceled the landing permits for the rescue flights. The Civil Aviation Authority and the security establishment, including the Shin Bet, are attempting to resolve the crisis overnight.
