Dubai-based flydubai suspends all flight services to and from Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport through April 30 amid the war with Iran and the security escalation in the region.
Flydubai is joining a host of foreign airlines that have canceled flights to and from Israel in the coming weeks, after the country’s airspace was closed on February 28 with the outbreak of war with Iran.
As part of a government effort led by the Transportation Ministry, flydubai last week operated direct flights to repatriate Israelis stranded in Dubai to Ben Gurion Airport.
