Israel's national carrier El Al has cancelled evacuation flights to Dubai after the United Arab Emirates withdrew the airline's landing permits, according to Anadolu Agency.
El Al has not offered an explanation for why the permits were withdrawn, and Emirati authorities have not issued any immediate official clarification either.
The cancellations affect flights that had been organized to evacuate passengers through Dubai, though further details on the number of affected passengers or alternative arrangements were not provided in the available reporting.
The development comes against the backdrop of a broader relationship between Israel and the UAE that has included commercial aviation ties since the normalization of relations between the two countries.
