Transport Minister: “Israeli skies could be closed again at any moment”

Regev asked Israelis abroad whose connecting flights would pass through the UAE not to use this route. The minister emphasized: “At any time, in accordance with the situation, flights may be suspended.”

Regev also appealed to Israeli airlines demanding that they not inflate prices. “Don’t inflate prices, that’s why we continue to promote Wizz’s return to Israel.”

Miri Regev also reported that starting from this coming Sunday, it is planned to organize evacuation flights from Thailand and Japan.

At the same time, the El Al airline announced that starting next week it will expand the operation to return Israelis from Bangkok, Phuket and Tokyo. It is expected that next week about 20 flights will be operated in these directions, bringing more than 6 thousand people back to Israel.
