Israel Closes Airspace Following Strikes on Iran
The Israeli Ministry of Transport issued a statement on Saturday morning, February 28, 2026, confirming that all civilian flight operations have been suspended as a precautionary measure against potential retaliatory drone and missile attacks from Tehran.
The official directive advises the public to avoid traveling to airports until further notice. Furthermore, Israeli citizens currently abroad have been urged to stay informed through their respective airlines and official news outlets for updates on the resumption of services. Authorities emphasized that the airspace will only be reopened once the security situation stabilizes, and a formal notification will be issued at least 24 hours in advance of any reopening.
