Ground Stop?

"Report: US considering grounding flights to Israel amid rocket threat"

The US is considering canceling flights to Israel after a rocket fired from Gaza caused damage in the city of Yehud, which is just over five kilometers from Ben-Gurion Airport, Channel 2 reported on Tuesday. The US Federal Aviation Authority has a statute by which flights to and from an airport will be canceled for a period of 24 hours in the event that a rocket explodes in the area.  According to the Channel 2 report, no final decision has been made to ground flights to Israel. However, a Delta Airlines flight that was supposed to land in Israel on Tuesday changed course and landed at De Gaul Airport in Paris. In addition, a US Airways flight that was scheduled to take off from Israel on Tuesday has remained grounded, Channel 2 reported. Israeli and American flight officials are reportedly trying to come to an understanding regarding the US concerns over rocket fire. Israel contends that the Iron Dome rocket defense system, which has proven to be 90% effective during Operation Protective Edge, is also capable of intercepting projectiles in the area of Ben-Gurion Airport. The rocket which landed in the courtyard of a home in Yehud on Tuesday, causing damage and leaving two people lightly injured, marked the first direct hit in the greater Tel Aviv area, known as Gush Dan, since the Gaza operation began more than two weeks ago.

^ I can understand airlines not wanting to risk the safety of their crew or passengers by flying into/out of warzones. If only Malaysia Air had thought of that before going through eastern Ukraine. ^
