After a series of discussions and security assessments held throughout the day by officials from the Israel Airports Authority, the Transportation Ministry, and the Home Front Command, authorities decided not to impose any limits on the number of passengers passing through Ben Gurion Airport. The decision came against the backdrop of the security escalation and a fresh review of aviation activity in Israel.
During the discussions, officials examined several alternatives, including the possibility of reducing the scope of operations at Ben Gurion and limiting the number of passengers in the airport terminals. Ultimately, they decided not to impose new restrictions and to allow operations to continue according to the security situation and Home Front Command guidelines.
Earlier, authorities also decided not to close Israeli airspace, despite the security tensions. Officials involved in the details said that all relevant agencies continue to hold ongoing security assessments and that guidelines may change according to developments.
For now, flights at the airport continue to operate normally, with authorities emphasizing that they are continuously monitoring the situation and are prepared to make adjustments if necessary.
