Efforts are being made to reinstate Flydubai flights to Israel following their suspension, with a roundtable discussion planned for next week. Representatives from Israel's Shin Bet and Mossad will meet with Emirati officials to discuss the resumption of services. Transportation Minister Miri Regev has stipulated that this can only occur if Israeli flights to the Emirates are also restored.
Minister Regev has also sent a letter to the National Security Council head, requiring security clearance for all individuals arriving in Israel, a measure expected to face difficulties.
Meanwhile, as Flydubai flights remain halted, foreign and Israeli airlines have increased prices for flights to the East by 10% to 20%. The operation to bring Israelis home is expected to conclude this Thursday, after which the only remaining route from the Emirates will be Etihad from Abu Dhabi to Israel.
