Dubai-based airline Flydubai canceled all flights to Israel on Saturday, citing ongoing security concerns following an Israeli strike in Iran. The airline announced it would resume flights tomorrow, barring any last-minute changes.

Etihad Airways, Abu Dhabi’s national carrier, continues operating flights to Israel but has implemented adjustments. Passengers scheduled to fly to Israel on a night flight reported a delay of over nine hours, with the plane departing only in the morning. One passenger recounted, “They didn’t offer hotel accommodations. We received Burger King vouchers and had to sleep on benches.”

An Etihad spokesperson said, “The Tel Aviv-Abu Dhabi route is operating as usual. However, as part of an effort to maintain air service, we have combined night and afternoon flights into a single daily flight until November 11.”

Many foreign airlines had already suspended flights to Israel even before the recent strike. Bulgaria Air announced Friday it would halt flights to Israel until December 22, following a brief resumption last week. Air Seychelles also suspended flights to Israel, with service paused until January 7, 2025.

British Airways stated earlier this week it would not resume flights to Israel before April 2025. Israir, in response, plans to operate four to five weekly flights from Tel Aviv to London Luton Airport starting November 17, with fares starting at $300 one way.
