Israeli airspace had been closed to flights for a period due to security concerns following the attacks carried out by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
According to a statement from officials, it has been decided to gradually reopen Ben Gurion Airport to passenger traffic after the situation in the country became relatively stable.
In the initial phase, only a limited number of aircraft will be permitted to land. Within this scope, it is planned that only one passenger plane will land at the airport per hour.
The country's two major airlines, Israir and Arkia, announced that they have completed their preparations to resume flights to the airport as of today. It was reported that Israir will conduct five flights to Tel Aviv from various cities such as Rome, Berlin, Athens, Batumi, and Rovaniemi. Arkia will also resume its flights during this process.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard had announced that in the missile attacks it carried out in recent days, Ben Gurion Airport, along with the Israeli Ministry of Defense, had also been targeted.
