Transportation Ministry Eases Flight Restrictions at Ben Gurion Airport Amid Security Concerns

The Transportation Ministry in Israel has announced a relaxation of flight restrictions at Ben Gurion Airport, allowing airlines to sell up to 100 seats on outbound flights. This decision comes two weeks after tighter limits were imposed due to security concerns. Approximately 30% of the seats will be reserved for humanitarian and exceptional cases, subject to committee approval. Despite the easing, the number of permitted air movements remains limited to one takeoff and one landing per hour. This measure was initially implemented following an incident involving interceptor debris at the airport. Several international airlines, including United Airlines and Air Canada, have suspended flights to and from Israel due to escalating regional tensions.
