Arkia’s first flight is en route to Dubai to bring stranded Israelis home, with Israir set to follow. Flydubai has suspended all Israel service until further notice as talks continue over baggage and security arrangements for the return flights.

A UAE official stated that Israel is exploiting the Flydubai incident for political purposes and thereby delaying the resumption of flights.
