Israel is set to begin limited flights in and out of Ben Gurion International Airport on Monday, the airport authority announced.
Outgoing flights will operate with a maximum of 50 passengers because of new safety protocols, Israel Airports Authority (IAA) said in a statement. Israel�s Home Front Command has restricted large gatherings of people and closed non-essential workplaces because of the threat of Iranian ballistic missiles.
Meanwhile, the IAA will allow approximately 24 incoming flights per day as part of what it�s calling the �Safe Return� operation, as tens of thousands of Israelis remain stranded abroad. These inbound flights are allowed to operate with an increased capacity.
The IAA said the resumption of flights – even at limited capacities – would mark �a significant step toward the gradual restoration of routine international travel.�

So everyone is flying First Class.
What is the logic of 50 /flight?
@baalboose: large gatherings of people are prohibited, in the event h�vsh of an iranian missile strike. even with suffixent warning, the more people run towards a shelter at once, the greater the chance of injuries. one or more full loads of 350 people could be a major catastrophe.
So if a plane with 50 passengers goes down, it�s not as bad as 300 go down.
We�re not talking about buildings- we�re talking about planes in the air.
