Israel imposes flight restrictions at Ben Gurion Airport

Israel’s Transport Minister, Miri Regev, has announced restrictions on air traffic at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, as Iranian missile attacks on Israel continue in response to its ongoing offensive since 28th February. In a statement late on Sunday, Regev said: “In order to safeguard lives, I have decided to temporarily reduce the number of takeoffs and landings, as well as the number of passengers at Ben Gurion Airport,” according to The Times of Israel. She added: “Starting from 5pm tomorrow (Monday, 15:00 GMT), only one flight will operate each hour. Aircraft will run on the basis of one incoming flight without a passenger limit, followed by one outgoing flight carrying no more than 50 passengers.” READ: Iran says US and Israel responsible […]
