Airlines Ask Israel's Supreme Court for War-Related Cancellation Immunity
Summarized from Ynetnews by baba
Several airlines and travel agencies have asked Israel's Supreme Court to exempt them from compensating passengers for flights canceled during "Operation Roaring Lion" and to grant immunity for future wartime cancellations. The petition argues that the 40-day closure of Israeli airspace made flights impossible. They seek a ruling that Israel's Aviation Services Law, requiring compensation, should not apply during mandatory, indefinite airspace closures.
