- El Al canceled flights from Dubai due to revoked landing permits.
- Repatriation flights for Israelis are affected by the permit issue.
- The Ministry of Transportation is attempting to secure flight approvals.
- Israir is delaying ticket sales pending confirmation of flight slots.
El Al announced Friday morning that it has canceled repatriation flights for Israelis from Dubai after landing permits for Israeli airlines in the UAE were revoked. The airline stated that if official approval is granted, the flights will proceed. Israir has not yet announced its repatriation flights, as the process for slot allocation has raised suspicions, leading the company's management to delay ticket sales. Israir indicated that flights will be opened for sale once certainty is established.
The Ministry of Transportation announced it is working to facilitate the flights' departure as soon as possible and instructed passengers to contact the airlines. However, a source indicated that contrary to the ministry's announcement, approval to operate the flights has not been received.
