El Al Plans Dubai Repatriation Flights for Stranded Israelis, Subject to Security Approval
Published
El Al announced special repatriation flights from Dubai to Tel Aviv for Israelis stranded after flight cancellations following Wednesday's Flydubai incident. The first return flight is expected on Friday, October 2, but the operation and ticket sales remain subject to final security approval. Aircraft will leave Tel Aviv without passengers and return from Dubai carrying Israelis home. Bookings will open through El Al's website and travel agents once approval is received; the airline said it would reinforce its schedule to help as many Israelis as possible return safely.
