Israeli carrier Israir says it is preparing to renew its operation of repatriation flights amid expectations that Israel’s airspace will reopen at 2 p.m.

“We are awaiting detailed guidelines from the Civil Aviation Authority and the Airports Authority, and will update as soon as we receive them,” the airline says in a statement.

All Israeli airlines suspended their operations earlier today as the country’s airspace was closed following the US attack on Iran.

The Israel Airports Authority says it is preparing to open the airspace and resume flights.

“At present, no time has been set for the opening of the airspace,” the airports authority says. “It will open in accordance with developments in the situation and in coordination with the various parties.”
