2014 Ben Gurion Airport flight bans

none yes The 2014 Ben Gurion Airport flight bans were a series of flight bans at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel due to the 2014 Gaza War. FAA flight bans On 21 July 2014, the United States State Department advised U.S. citizens to "consider the deferral of non-essential travel to Israel" in consideration of the firing of rockets into different parts of Israel (including cities)."The U.S. Department of State warns U.S. citizens of the risks of traveling to Israel, the West Bank and Gaza due to ongoing hostilities. The Department of State recommends that U.S. citizens consider the deferral of non-essential travel to Israel and the West Bank and reaffirms the longstanding strong warning to U.S. citizens against any travel to the Gaza Strip. This Travel Warning replaces the Travel Warning issued on February 3, 2014."

This move was facilitated by frequently employing runway 03/21, a new runway at the airport that was completed less than two months before the conflict began. In response to the cancellations, on 23 July, Israel offered to open up Ovda Airport (in southern Israel, 60 km mi on north of Eilat) to international flights, due to its distance from Gaza.https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/kerry-in-israel-to-push-for-cease-fire/2014/07/23/4d902146-123b-11e4-98ee-daea85133bc9_story.html The Washington Post Anne Gearan The United States put the most direct pressure yet on ally Israel to cut short its military campaign 24 July 20142014-07-23 Israel Hayom Israel opens alternate airport after wave of flight cancellations http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_article.php?id=18987 https://web.archive.org/web/20150518102810/http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_article.php?id=18987 2015-05-18 www.israelhayom.com There was crowding and chaos at the airport after it opened; 5,000 people were expected to pass through the airport on 24 July.
