Breaking FAA Bans flights to Israel on US Airlines.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1N85MiTQ-N0gsI3XBCCYbw?sub_confirmation=1 Federal Aviation Administration bans flights to Israel on US airlines. Air travel to Israel from all American carriers and several European ones came to a halt on Tuesday after the Federal Aviation Authority banned US airlines from traveling to and from Ben-Gurion Airport for 24 hours. The decision followed the successful firing of a Hamas rocket into a house in Yehud, near Ben-Gurion Airport, earlier in the day. In labor disputes with the government, El Al has argued that it is the only airline the country can rely on to continue flying during tough security times, and that Israel should foot more of the bill for its security needs. During the 1991 Gulf war, every airline but El Al suspended service to Israel. The Federal Aviation Administration decision followed the successful firing of a Hamas rocket into a house in Yehud, near Ben Gurion Airport, earlier in the day. “The Federal Aviation Administration immediately notified US carriers when the agency learned of the rocket strike and informed them that the agency was finalizing a [Notice to Airmen]” prohibiting the flights, an FAA statement read. American aviation companies Delta, United said they were suspending flights to Israel “indefinitely,” US Airways reportedly only suspended flights for the night. Soon after the decision, Lufthansa announced a 36-hour suspension that included subsidiaries Germanwings, Austrian Airlines and Swiss, and Air France announced its own indefinite suspension. http://www.jpost.com/Operation-Protective-Edge/FAA-bans-flights-to-Israel-on-US-airlines-for-24-hours-368542#!
