El Al’s first rescue flights to Dubai were called off when the United Arab Emirates withdrew the permission needed for the aircraft to land. The Israeli Ministry of Transportation had announced that the flights would depart that day, and Reuters reported that Israeli carriers intended to restart service after a recent flydubi incident.

The Times of Israel confirmed the cancellation was directly tied to the UAE’s reversal of approval, leaving passengers stranded. Yahoo noted that flydubai travelers now face uncertain delays returning to Israel, while i24NEWS highlighted the ministry’s original intent to launch the repatriation effort.

Observers will watch for any renewed landing clearance from the UAE, potential schedule adjustments from El Al, and further statements from transportation authorities.
