Nikolai, a resident of Tel Aviv who was on a work mission in Dubai, told RIA Novosti that he was initially planning to return to Israel on Fly Dubai Airlines.
He added: "I had not booked the ticket in advance. Rather, I intended to do so as the departure date approached on Friday or Saturday. But in the end, Flydubai canceled all its flights, and all Arkia flights are fully booked until the end of October, which forced me to buy a flight ticket via Addis Ababa (Ethiopia)."
According to him, the cost of the ticket amounted to more than a thousand euros one way.
Alexei, another Tel Aviv resident, reported that he plans to travel from Dubai to Tel Aviv via Baku (Azerbaijan), without waiting for evacuation flights.
For its part, the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation (Kan) confirmed that the air transport companies Arkia and Israir have obtained approval from the UAE aviation authorities to operate evacuation flights for citizens stranded in Dubai, after Flydubai flights were halted due to recent events. This breakthrough came after a crisis witnessed in flights from the Emirates to Israel. Previously, El Al Company (the Israeli national carrier) was forced to cancel all return flights that were scheduled for October 2, as a result of the inability to obtain the necessary permits at that time.
