Israel to fully reopen its airspace

Israeli Transport Minister Miri Regev says Israel is advancing a plan to fully open its airspace by increasing the number of flights, extending airport operating hours, and bringing back foreign carriers.

“I have instructed the Israel Airports Authority to prepare for the final phase of the safe return operation,” The Times of Israel quoted Regev as saying. “The plan will be implemented subject to two conditions: lifting of Home Front Command restrictions and coordination with security and intelligence agencies.”

“Today, 24 flights will land at Ben Gurion Airport, and 9 flights in Haifa, while this morning, a Mano cruise arrived with 1,900 Israelis,” he said.
