Two embarrassing incidents at Ben Gurion Airport

The first case occurred after the landing of the plane of Play Dubai, when a couple from the UAE were not allowed to enter the country even though they were ordered by the Israeli company Laser Modeling. The two filled out health declaration forms as required and were of the opinion that the booking and entry permits had been arranged, but the Population and Immigration Authority employees refused their entry.

According to sources at Ben Gurion Airport, the two went through an unpleasant process and protested the treatment they received. After a short process, they boarded the first flight to Dubai. People who know the details of the case said that they were respectable people from the UAE.

The second case occurred at the same time, when a group of about ten Israelis refused to board the plane to Dubai. On the face of it, the issue of entry permits was supposed to be regulated – so according to a Foreign Ministry announcement last week.

Among the Israelis who were supposed to be on the flight were several well-known businessmen, including the owner of the Ronen Nemani coffee chain.

In a conversation with Nemani, he says: “Indeed, we are supposed to fly to Dubai for a business trip, people are waiting for us there. We arrived and it turned out that we are all not allowed to board because something with the visa is not correct. Thelma Travel Agency promised What’s even more strange is that my wife has flown there twice in the last month (she is a partner in our ventures) and has not encountered any problems. “

The Population Authority said in response to the couple’s refusal to enter the emirate into Israel: “The couple arrived without a permit to board a flight. It is not clear how they were boarded. They were booked by a company, but it did not wait for a permit.”

Comments have not yet been received from the Airports Authority and Thelma Tourism.
