UAE Airlines Etihad and flydubai Cancel Tel Aviv flights

In response to the ongoing conflict in Israel, Etihad Airways are temporarily suspending flights to Tel Aviv.

“Etihad is monitoring the situation in Israel and continues to maintain close contact with authorities and security intelligence providers,” it said in a statement issued on Saturday.


The first flights affected are EY598 from Abu Dhabi (AUH) to Tel Aviv (TLV) and flight EY599 from Tel Aviv to Abu Dhabi on Sunday 16 May, which have been cancelled for the safety of its guests and crew members.

Flydubai has also cancelled flights from Dubai on Sunday, its website shows, though two flights operated on Saturday. Other flights are scheduled for next week, according to its website.

The airline has recently operated fewer than its scheduled four daily flights, citing a drop in demand.
