Flydubai has suspended flights to Tel Aviv until further notice at the request of authorities, the airline's CEO Ghaith Al Ghaith said, according to Anadolu Agency.
Al Ghaith said the captain of flight FZ1073, which had been diverted, returned to the United Arab Emirates after receiving medical clearance.
Limited details released
The report did not specify which authorities requested the suspension, the reason for the flight's diversion, or how long the halt in service is expected to last.
Flydubai operates a network of routes connecting Dubai with destinations across the Middle East, and any suspension of service to a major route like Tel Aviv can have a notable impact on travel between the two regions.
The airline has not indicated when flights might resume, and further details on the circumstances surrounding the diversion of flight FZ1073 were not immediately available.
