A number of rescue flights are heading to Dubai today to bring Israeli citizens back home. This follows a scary incident where a flydubai flight was attacked.
Because of the attack, El Al—a major Israeli airline—decided to cancel its planned flights for Friday. Now, other airlines like Arkia and Israir are stepping in to help get people out of the UAE.
Not everyone is happy with how things are being handled. Some sources in the UAE have criticized the way Israel is using these "rescue flights." They suggest that the situation could have been managed differently.
If you were a passenger on a flydubai flight and have been affected by this, there is some good news regarding your travel plans. The airline is offering free extensions on Libra travel insurance to help people deal with the changes to their trips.
The Israeli Ministry of Transportation confirmed that these emergency flights are departing today. We will keep you updated as more people get home safely.
