Israel’s commercial airlines are quietly preparing contingency plans to move their aircraft out of Ben-Gurion Airport amid mounting concern that Iranian missile fire could threaten aviation infrastructure, Miri Regev said Wednesday.
Speaking in an interview with Israeli radio station 103FM, Regev said carriers including El Al, Arkia, and Israir are prepared to evacuate their fleets to destinations abroad if instructed, drawing on plans refined during past escalations with Iran.
“We have not received instructions to evacuate the fleet, but we are prepared according to pre-established plans to carry out the mission if required,” a senior official at one of the airlines said.
For now, airline operations are continuing as normal. But industry officials said the experience of a previous evacuation during the Israel–Iran conflict earlier this year has left carriers better positioned to act quickly.
