Foreign Airlines Seek Amendment to Israel’s Aviation Services Law Amid Conflict

Foreign airlines operating in Israel have formally requested an amendment to the Aviation Services Law to address operational challenges caused by the ongoing conflict in the region. In a letter to the Knesset Economic Affairs Committee’s legal advisor, representatives of these airlines emphasized the need for legal adjustments to mitigate the impact of service disruptions and ensure passenger rights are balanced with the unique circumstances faced by carriers during periods of instability. The appeal highlights the strain that foreign airlines experience when disruptions are outside their control, particularly during times of armed conflict.
