Emirates Suspends Codeshare Flights to Israel After Flydubai Cockpit Incident
Emirates has suspended its codeshare flights with flydubai to and from Israel's Ben Gurion Airport following an incident on flydubai flight FZ1073, which diverted to Saudi Arabia after an altercation in the cockpit. Passengers with final destinations in Tel Aviv are not accepted for travel if their itinerary includes the suspended connection, though those already en route will be supported. Israeli airline El Al announced special flights to repatriate Israelis from Dubai amid these disruptions, pending further investigation by UAE authorities.
