Challenge Airlines to Fly Luggage from Dubai to Israel

Israeli cargo airline Challenge Airlines will use a Boeing 747 to transport luggage for Israelis being repatriated from Dubai. The decision follows security disputes that prevent passengers from bringing checked bags on rescue flights, with luggage to be sent separately. This is part of a larger operation to bring thousands of Israelis home after Flydubai flights were suspended.
