Ministers okay plan to bring in more daily flights for stranded Israelis
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe coronavirus cabinet approves a plan to bring more so-called rescue flights into Ben Gurion Airport for Israelis stranded abroad. The airport remains shuttered for normal flights.
The plan will see approval for up to 2,000 arrivals a day starting on February 20, with flights split evenly between Israeli and foreign airlines.
That last part is apparently in reaction to a US demand that Israel allow US airlines to fly in, or the US would prevent El Al flights from landing in the country.
