The 2014 Ben Gurion Airport flight bans were a series of flight bans at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel due to the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict. ==FAA flight bans== On 21 July 2014, the United States State Department advised U.S. citizens to "consider the deferral of non-essential travel to Israel" in consideration of the firing of rockets into different parts of Israel (including cities).〔"The U.S. Department of State warns U.S. citizens of the risks of traveling to Israel, the West Bank and Gaza due to ongoing hostilities. The Department of State recommends that U.S. citizens consider the deferral of non-essential travel to Israel and the West Bank and reaffirms the longstanding strong warning to U.S. citizens against any travel to the Gaza Strip. This Travel Warning replaces the Travel Warning issued on February 3, 2014." U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs, July 21, 2014, "Israel, The West Bank and Gaza Travel Warning" http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/english/alertswarnings/israel-travel-warning.html〕〔Rick Gladstone, "The New York Times," July 21, 2014, "U.S. Advises Americans to Put Off Travel to Israel" http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/22/world/middleeast/us-advises-americans-to-put-off-travel-to-israel.html?_r=0〕 On 22 July, a rocket landed about a mile from Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport. Delta Air Lines diverted〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=FAA lifts ban on US flights to Tel Aviv airport )〕 a flight which was in the air to Paris.〔 Delta Air Lines and United Airlines suspended all flights to Tel Aviv indefinitely, and US Airways also cancelled flights.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=United, Delta cancel flights to Israel; plane in the air is diverted to Paris )〕 After this, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) prohibited U.S. airlines from flying to or from the airport for up to 24 hours〔(CNN - FAA bans U.S.-Israel flights, citing rocket attack (July 22, 2014) )〕 and cited "the potentially hazardous situation created by the armed conflict in Israel and Gaza." The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) stated that it "strongly recommends" that airlines do not fly into or out of the Tel Aviv airport. On 23 July, the FAA extended its prohibition for another 24 hours,〔"The Boston Globe," July 23, 2014 "FAA extends ban on US flights to Tel Aviv" http://www.bostonglobe.com/news/world/2014/07/23/european-carriers-suspend-more-tel-aviv-flights/WvGEP81gF6qyOtGLZ5HCyM/story.html?p1=Article_Related〕 however half way through the extension, 36 hours into the flight ban, the FAA lifted their ban. Former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg flew to Ben Gurion on El Al on the 23rd of July in order to prove that Israel's airports are safe and to show his solidarity with Israel.〔The Jerusalem Post, July 23, 2014 "Despite FAA ban, former New York mayor Bloomberg flies to Israel on El Al" http://www.jpost.com/Operation-Protective-Edge/Former-New-York-mayor-Bloomberg-defies-FAA-ban-flies-to-Israel-on-El-Al-368562〕〔Michael Bloomberg, Bloomberg View, July 23, 2014 http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2014-07-23/why-i-flew-to-israel〕 He told CNN, "The fact that one rocket falls far away from this airport – a mile away – doesn't mean you should shut down air traffic into a country and paralyze the country." Hamas called the FAA flight ban a "great victory". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2014 Ben Gurion Airport flight bans」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
