:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} has lifted its ban on foreign airlines conducting overnight stays, allowing international carriers to resume standard operating schedules.
The restriction had previously required foreign airlines to avoid parking aircraft overnight in the country, affecting crew rotations and operational planning. With the removal of the ban, airlines can now manage schedules more efficiently and reduce operational complexity.
The decision is expected to improve connectivity and restore greater flexibility for international carriers serving Israeli airports. Overnight stays are critical for early morning departures, crew rest compliance, and aircraft utilization.
Industry observers note that the move may encourage additional capacity deployment and help stabilize flight operations, particularly as demand for regional and long-haul travel continues to recover.
Airlines are likely to adjust their schedules in the coming weeks to reflect the policy change and optimize route performance.
