JERUSALEM (VINnews)-Transportation Minister Miri Regev announced that Israel’s airspace remains open and Ben Gurion Airport is operating on schedule, even as officials weigh a request to restrict the number of passengers inside the terminal.

The Home Front Command has asked to limit passengers at the airport to 2,500 at any given time amid ongoing security concerns, according to the Transportation Ministry. Ministry officials said professional consultations are continuing, but no decision has been made on implementing new restrictions.

Regev’s statement comes as Israeli authorities monitor the security situation closely. The airport, Israel’s main international gateway, has continued normal operations until further notice.

Further updates are expected as consultations progress.
