2014 Ben Gurion Airport flight bans
In July 2014, a series of flight bans were implemented concerning Ben Gurion Airport in Israel due to escalating regional tensions during the 2014 Gaza War. The bans were primarily influenced by safety concerns following the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 in Ukraine and ongoing rocket fire from Gaza. Several countries, including India, advised their airlines to avoid flying to and from Ben Gurion Airport, leading to significant disruptions in air travel. Indian airlines, notably Air India, suspended flights to Israel, impacting hundreds of travelers and affecting trade and tourism. The bans were deemed a precautionary measure in response to perceived threats, highlighting the complexities of aviation safety in conflict zones.
