Dubai: Hundreds of Israelis were “denied entry” briefly after landing in Dubai as per media reports.
In response to recent media reports on the entry of Israeli citizens to the United Arab Emirates, FlyDubai has apologised to the affected passengers who experienced a delay on arrival to Dubai on Monday [December 8].
Local media house, Times of Israel, stated that 155 Israeli passengers were on board the Flydubai flight to Dubai, and were delayed at the airport for four hours.
Flydubai is currently reviewing the reasons behind the delay and is revalidating the processes and procedures to prevent any delays to subsequent flights.
The policy permitting the entry of Israeli citizens remains unchanged, and Israeli citizens continue to be welcomed to the UAE, the Emirates News Agency added.
