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.
