Flydubai has extended its suspension of flights between Dubai and Israel, with services now halted until at least October 31. The airline cited an investigation into a thwarted terror attempt aboard a plane bound for Israel in late September as the reason for the suspension. In response to the flight cancellations, Israeli airlines organized repatriation flights for citizens stranded in Dubai. According to the UAE Civil Aviation Authority, 37 such flights carried 7,479 passengers starting October 2. However, UAE authorities later revoked permissions for these evacuation flights operated by Israeli carriers. Following the cancellation of flights by El Al and Israir, Arkia also joined the suspension.
