- El Al rescue flights from Dubai were delayed.
- A security dispute between Israel and the UAE caused the delays.
- Landing permits for Israeli companies in Dubai were revoked.
- Passengers are stranded and facing uncertainty.
- Talks to resolve the security dispute are ongoing.
El Al rescue flights scheduled to depart from Dubai on Tuesday were postponed, despite being fully booked. The airline informed passengers that the cancellations were necessary due to the revocation of landing permits for Israeli companies in Dubai. This situation has left passengers stranded and in a state of extreme uncertainty, with one passenger describing the lack of response as "complete uncertainty."
The delays stem from a dispute between Israel and the UAE over security arrangements, which emerged despite prior agreements on the rescue flights. Talks continued through the night but had not yet yielded a compromise by the time of reporting.
Earlier, Israeli airlines had announced that rescue flights between Dubai and Tel Aviv would resume starting Wednesday. This announcement followed Flydubai's decision to suspend its flights until an investigation into a "terror flight" incident was concluded. El Al's two rescue flights sold out within an hour of being announced.
