⚡️🇮🇱🇦🇪 — Israeli Government Approves NIS 9 Million Emergency Financial Safety Net Following flydubai Suspension, — THE JERUSALEM POST.

​➡️ The Israeli government has approved an emergency assistance mechanism of up to NIS 9 million to support national airlines operating repatriation flights from Dubai, following flydubai’s sudden suspension of services that stranded thousands of Israeli citizens abroad. Under the proposed resolution circulated by the Transportation Ministry, the state will subsidize the operational losses caused by strict security directives—specifically covering the prohibitive costs of flying outbound legs from Israel to Dubai completely empty and funding the separate transport of passengers' baggage via dedicated cargo flights.

​➡️ The financial package is structured as a tightly controlled safety net rather than an outright subsidy, designed to ensure that commercial carriers maintain the necessary flight volume without absorbing unsustainable financial penalties. While passengers continue purchasing tickets through regular channels, the state will step in to cover expenses only if passenger revenue fails to meet flight operating costs. Funding for the measure is drawn from a combination of the Transportation Ministry's budget and reallocated coalition agreement funds, with the emergency framework remaining in effect temporarily until Thursday or until flydubai formally resumes operations.

​➡️ This swift state intervention underscores the acute vulnerability of civil aviation links during regional security crises. Following similar emergency measures deployed in July following Operation Roaring Lion, the current financial and logistical bridge reflects Jerusalem's urgency in resolving civilian bottlenecks while navigating complex legal parameters during an election period. By absorbing the cost burdens of empty outbound transits and separate cargo baggage operations, the government aims to clear the backlog of stranded citizens amid an increasingly volatile regional transport environment.
