“We had halted the flights to Israel yesterday, now we decided to extend the suspension for another 24 hours because the risk continues,” Lutfi Elvan tells reporters.
Major US, European and Canadian airlines cancelled flights to and from Israel yesterday, after a rocket fired from Gaza struck near its main international airport in Tel Aviv.
