El Al officially canceled its planned rescue flights from Dubai on Friday. The first flight was scheduled to depart from Israel to Dubai on Friday morning, but was ultimately called off due to a lack of final approvals for Israeli aircraft to land in the United Arab Emirates. Israeli officials are concerned that the rescue operation may be postponed until Saturday.
The Ministry of Transportation had announced on Thursday that the rescue flights were expected to begin on Friday, October 2, following coordination with relevant parties. However, the ministry also noted that due to the need for security agencies to complete necessary preparations and coordination for flight operations, a delay in the departure of return flights from Dubai was anticipated. Citizens in Dubai were advised to stay in contact with their booked airlines for further instructions and updates.
