An Arkia aircraft took off for Israel after logistical hurdles were cleared, with an Israir flight scheduled to follow.
The first repatriation flight, operated by Arkia, departed Dubai International Airport en route to Israel this evening, ynet and i24NEWS reported.
According to ynet, the flight was cleared for takeoff after obstacles that caused delays were resolved, including an earlier demand by United Arab Emirates authorities to pair every passenger aircraft with a separate cargo plane to transport travelers' luggage.
An additional repatriation flight operated by Israir is scheduled to depart Dubai later on. Further details regarding the schedule of upcoming flights have not yet been released.
