The UAE-based carrier made the decision to ground its Israel-bound services as a precautionary measure while authorities examine the circumstances surrounding the flight FZ1073 incident. The suspension applies to all routes between the airline's network and Israeli destinations.
Flydubai stated that the decision reflects its commitment to safety and operational standards. The carrier has not disclosed specific details regarding the nature of the September 30 incident, but confirmed that investigation procedures are underway.
The suspension will remain in effect for an undetermined period, with the airline indicating that resumption of services depends on the completion and findings of the ongoing inquiry. Affected passengers are being notified of the service disruption and offered alternative arrangements.
This marks a significant operational disruption for one of the Middle East's most active low-cost carriers, which has expanded its route network substantially in recent years following the normalisation of UAE-Israel relations.
