By Sammy Tisser,
Arkia and Israir have received approvals from Dubai authorities for repatriation flights, while El Al's flights scheduled for today remain canceled.
Arkia is expected to operate one flight today, with another already approved for tomorrow. Earlier this morning, the airline said: "As of this hour, the flight is operating as planned."
Israir says it has received the required approvals from Dubai International Airport for a rescue flight, but is waiting for clearance from all remaining authorities before opening the flight for sale. "Israir is acting responsibly and is waiting to receive the approval of all parties involved in carrying out and operating the flight," the airline said.
