The first phase of the operation began on Friday evening with the departure of the initial rescue flight from Dubai carrying approximately 180 passengers. A second, dedicated flight immediately followed to transport passenger luggage, addressing logistical complexities and the need for swift repatriation. Both flights landed in Israel overnight.
The airline's fleet is prioritizing these special missions. On Saturday evening, Israir operated two additional rescue flights from Dubai, and the company has pledged to continue this service in the coming days. The primary goal is to meet the demand and return all Israelis wishing to come home.
