Transportation Minister Miri Regev says the country’s airspace remains open and operations at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport continue as scheduled until further notice.

At the same time, professional discussions are currently underway following the Home Front Command’s demand to restrict the number of passengers at Ben Gurion Airport to 2,500 at any given time. As of now, no decision has been taken, the ministry says.
