On 22 July, a rocket landed about a mile from Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport.[3] Delta Air Lines diverted[4] a flight which was in the air to Paris.[3] Delta Air Lines and United Airlines suspended all flights to Tel Aviv indefinitely, and US Airways also cancelled flights.[5][6] After this, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) prohibited U.S. airlines from flying to or from the airport for up to 24 hours[7] and cited "the potentially hazardous situation created by the armed conflict in Israel and Gaza."[8] The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) stated that it "strongly recommends" that airlines do not fly into or out of the Tel Aviv airport.[9] On 23 July, the FAA extended its prohibition for another 24 hours,[10] however halfway through the extension, 36 hours into the flight ban, the FAA lifted their ban.[11]
