Flydubai's return to Tel Aviv has been postponed indefinitely due to ongoing disagreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates concerning security measures and the investigation into an attempted attack on a flight last month. The delay was reported by Israel's Channel 12.
According to the report, the incident involved Flydubai flight 1073, where a co-pilot from Oman allegedly attacked the captain and attempted to crash the plane. The captain and several Israeli passengers reportedly intervened to stop the assailant.
Israel is demanding enhanced security at Dubai Airport, including equipment upgrades and the presence of Shin Bet agents. However, UAE authorities have reportedly rejected these demands. These disputes have also impacted the investigation into the incident, with Israel's government delegation postponing a planned visit to Dubai and the UAE refusing to share full investigation details with Israel.
Israeli sources stated that the country expects full participation in the investigation and will not be treated as a "puppet." The date for Flydubai's resumption of flights to Tel Aviv remains undetermined.
