Why are airlines not allowed to sell airline tickets even in closure?
The answer to these questions is not what you think - there is no danger of aggravating the disease situation in the country, senior Ministry of Health officials declare.
Professor Itamar Grotto clarified that there is no problem with flights abroad, especially when it comes to green countries and after corona tests are done.
So why did the Ministry of Transportation decide to ban flights?
The decision stems solely from other sectors not claiming that there is inequality between the aviation industry and other industries, senior officials in the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Health admit to us and this is the reason why travel agents When.
Currently, the closure was extended until October 14, whoever purchased a plane ticket yesterday to October 11, the previous date on which the closure was supposed to end, was considered fine.
Now, with the extension of the closure by three days, the same purchaser is considered a criminal and will not be able to exercise the flight ticket, even though at the point in time he purchased it he acted in accordance with the law.
And so basically a situation is created that the closure will probably be extended further, the airlines will not be able to sell airline tickets and will be confined and all without a logical epidemiological reason.
If all this is not enough, yesterday the Ministry of Transportation decided that anyone who dares to arrive at Ben Gurion Airport with a plane ticket purchased after the closure, not only will not be able to exercise it, he will also receive a fine. May suffer enormous economic damage, to the extent that they are eventually compensated, it will be at the expense of the public.
From a survey we conducted, there is no country in the world that has presented a similar outline - a permit to operate flights, but a ban on the sale of flight tickets.
In most countries of the world, even during closing times, airports were open and active and allowed the purchase of airline tickets.
Israir has already filed a petition with the High Court, which, among other things, points to a violation of human rights, all in the name of equality.
The Ministry of Transportation responded: "The outline that regulates the activity of the aviation industry during the closure is balanced and proportionate, maintains the functional continuity of the aviation industry and does not harm ticket buyers before the arrangement. It also allows Israelis to enter Israel without restriction. "It is easy when the rights of citizens are violated, but on the other hand, the need for the national effort to reduce the level of morbidity in the country and maintain public health as a guiding principle cannot be ignored."
