Repatriation flights by Israeli airlines Arkia and Israir to Dubai, intended to bring stranded Israelis home, are at risk of cancellation due to a new demand from the United Arab Emirates. The UAE is reportedly requiring that alongside each Israeli passenger plane, a separate cargo plane must arrive to transport passengers' luggage. The Israeli aircraft are currently in Israel awaiting final approval to fly to Dubai and retrieve the waiting passengers. The Ministry of Transport announced it is working to enable the flights to depart as soon as possible and advised passengers to contact their airlines. Flydubai's website currently shows no flights available from Israel until October 15.
