Europe lifts ban on flights to Tel Aviv airport
European airlines have been told they can consider flying again to Tel Aviv airport in Israel, BBC reported.
The decision follows a similar one earlier on Thursday, in which the US aviation regulator lifted its ban on US carriers flying there.
The European Aviation Safety Agency stopped short of saying that resumed flights would be safe.
It said airlines and national authorities should make their own decisions, based on the risks involved.
The decision of these authorities to change tack was immediately followed by the UK airline Easyjet resuming flights to Tel Aviv.
