Heavy Losses Hit Israeli Aviation as Limited Flights Resume at Ben Gurion
The airport is struggling to recover after a month and a half of near-total paralysis caused by the war.
Palestine, PUREWILAYAH.COM - An Israeli newspaper has acknowledged that Ben Gurion Airport faces a long and complex path toward restoring normal operations.
According to a report by The Marker, the Israeli regime’s main economic daily, the airport is struggling to recover after a month and a half of near-total paralysis caused by the war.
The report states that foreign airlines remain hesitant to fully resume operations in Israel, with those that have returned operating only on limited flight schedules.
Nearly Half-Billion Shekel Losses
It adds that ongoing concerns over a potential collapse of the ceasefire, along with an unprecedented surge in fuel costs, are preventing airlines from fully restoring their services.
Meanwhile, Israeli civil aviation authorities have admitted that, due to the consequences of the war, they have lost approximately half a billion shekels in revenue.
The situation highlights that despite official claims of reopening the airspace over occupied Palestine following the ceasefire, a full return to normal international flight operations remains far from reach.
