The Transportation Ministry announces that Israel will fully reopen the country’s airspace and resume regular operations at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport starting at midnight tonight.
Following the overnight ceasefire that halted the joint US-Israel military campaign against Iran, the Transportation Ministry says it is working with the Israel Airports Authority and the Civil Aviation Authority on fully returning to full operations at Ben Gurion Airport.
A formal announcement has been issued to foreign airlines and leading regulators regarding the return to normal operations at Ben Gurion Airport, the Transportation Ministry says.
Flight operations will resume at the Herzliya Airport tomorrow morning, and on Sunday, operations will be restarted at Eilat’s Ramon Airport in the country’s south.
The return of flight operations at Haifa Airport in the country’s north will be considered only toward the end of the week, depending on an assessment of the security situation, the Transportation Ministry says.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
