International airlines had been suspended yesterday morning and all flights to Israel’s Ben Gurion international airport after a missile fired by the Houthi group which landed near the airport.
Many foreign airlines have suspended flights to and from Tel Aviv after the missile hit, sending a plume of smoke into the air and causing panic among passengers in the terminal building.
Following a ceasefire deal with the Palestinian resistance group Hamas in January, foreign carriers had begun to resume flights to Israel after halting them for much of the last year and a half since October 2023.
That left flag carrier El Al Airlines (ELAL.TA) along with smaller rivals Arkia and Israir (ISRG.TA) – with a near monopoly. El Al’s shares rose 7 per cent, while Israir gained 4.1 per cent in a flat broader Tel Aviv market.
