"Emirates" prevents flights through it from Israel – until further notice

Emirates airline has stopped selling tickets to Israelis on its website until official approval is secured for flights to Israel for its subsidiary Flydubai. The decision affects connecting flights to Far East destinations, and the option to book tickets has been canceled until 2027. Talks to resume flights have been frozen until after the elections.

Emirates, the parent company of Flydubai, has decided not to sell tickets on its website to Israeli customers until official approval for flights to Israel is arranged for its subsidiary. Flydubai will not fly to Israel at least until the end of November, but the option to book flights has effectively been canceled until 2027. This is a significant announcement for the Israeli public, which has become dependent on Dubai for connecting flights to Far East destinations and Japan, since Turkey was removed from the map as a tourist destination. A check by the correspondent reveals that the decision even affects Passover in 2027. Currently, efforts are being made to bring Flydubai back to fly to Israel, but until after the elections, the talks have been completely frozen.
