I think if a rocket had not hit one mile from the airport today, the reaction from the airlines might have been different, since thus far there had not been a travel warning or a cancellation of flights..but I think the one rocket getting through(Since Iron Dome can’t prevent every single rocket from getting through) it freaked the airlines out
Check your favorite travel site. If you’re in the mood to fly to Kiev, Ukraine, this weekend, plenty of flights. From the US. On lines that aren’t currently flying to Israel. If the Ukraine doesn’t freak airlines out, actually they’re pretty well protected on international flights, particularly in war zones, or freak out the FAA, the cancelation of flights to Israel is bizarre. This was a political move, nothing more. Worse yet, really small time Chicago move. Maybe something an alderman on the take might do, Mayor Daley would have more sense. There are many ways to apply pressure, a stupid public move like this is, well, rank amateur.
