Fly Dubai

Approximately 70,000 passengers are at Tel Aviv’s airport, many trying to catch the last flights out of Israel as more airlines suspend passenger and commercial flights to and from Tel Aviv due to escalating tensions in the Middle East, according to Israeli media.

Many fear further flight cancellations and that they won’t be able to return to their home countries.

The Greek National Tourism Organization's (GNTO) efforts to increase tourism flows from the Arab world to Greece are in full swing, with the GNTO attending the Arabian Travel Market trade show in this context.

GNTO Secretary-General Dimitris Fragakis stated that "the Arab countries are the main target of the organization's strategy in opening to new markets.

The incident happened on Friday, February 18, during the take-off of the "Fly Dubai" plane, most likely full of passengers, it is stated further in the text and it is pointed out that there could have been a more serious incident or accident.
