Israel's Arkia Loses Dubai Flight Permits Amidst Flydubai Suspension

Israeli airlines, including Arkia, El Al, and Israir, have lost their permits to fly from Dubai after the UAE revoked authorization. Arkia CEO Oz Berlowitz believes this is a retaliatory measure because Flydubai is still barred from flying to Israel. The cancellations have stranded hundreds of passengers, and Arkia is offering refunds and alternative flights while seeking to restore its own permits. The airline also confirmed charging baggage fees, taking responsibility for luggage transport at a loss.
