Facebook Twitter Whatsapp E-Mail Print Copy Link Thousands upon thousands of Israeli expats could find themselves in a lengthy stint abroad, potentially stuck for weeks, due to the escalating geopolitical tensions with Iran.
According to the head honcho of Israel's aviation authority, Schmuel Zakai, the slow, methodical, and measured resumption of civilian air traffic won't happen in a jiffy. It's all about safety first, take it slow, and ensure that no harm comes to individuals or aircraft35. So, brace yourselves, as this operation might last for weeks, that's right, no days or hours1.
As the country prepares for cautious, gradual steps in resuming flights, Israel remains grounded with no available flights in or out1. And it seems like we're in the thick of things now, with Zakai revealing that the announcement was held back due to the ongoing military conflict2.
