After cancellations, Ovda airport opened
The Transportation Ministry announces that foreign carriers concerned about the security situation may land and depart from the Ovda airport located some 60 kilometers (40 miles) north of Eilat, beginning at noon.
Transportation Minister Israel Katz calls the FAA decision to ground flights “inappropriate” and “unfortunate.”
“There is no reason to cancel the flights to and from Ben Gurion Airport,” he says.
