The FAA has lifted its restrictions on U.S. airline flights into and out of
Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport by cancelling a Notice to Airmen it renewed
earlier today. The cancellation is effective at approximately 11:45 p.m.
EDT.

Before making this decision, the FAA worked with its U.S. government
counterparts to assess the security situation in Israel and carefully
reviewed both significant new information and measures the Government of
Israel is taking to mitigate potential risks to civil aviation.

The FAA’s primary mission and interest are the protection of people
traveling on U.S. airlines. The agency will continue to closely monitor the
very fluid situation around Ben Gurion Airport and will take additional
actions, as necessary.

The FAA initially instituted the flight prohibition on Tuesday, July 22, in
response to a rocket strike that landed approximately one mile from the
airport.
