Israeli authorities have approved repatriation flights to bring home roughly 1,800 passengers stranded after Flydubai suspended its services, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
The report said Israeli airlines are set to begin operating flights from Dubai starting Friday to carry the stranded travelers back to Israel. The suspension of Flydubai's operations left passengers unable to complete their journeys as scheduled, prompting Israeli authorities to arrange alternative transport.
Anadolu Agency's report did not specify the exact reason behind Flydubai's suspension of services or how long the disruption is expected to last. It also did not name which Israeli carriers would operate the repatriation flights or how many flights would be needed to accommodate all affected passengers.
The move is intended to minimize disruption for travelers caught up in the suspension, many of whom were reportedly left waiting in Dubai without a clear timeline for their return. Repatriation efforts of this kind typically involve coordination between national aviation authorities, airport operators, and the airlines stepping in to cover the shortfall.
Further details on the scope of the disruption, including whether other nationalities were affected or whether Flydubai has indicated when normal operations might resume, were not included in the available reporting.
