After consultations on Friday morning between Transportation Minister Miri Regev and the Finance Ministry, the Workers Union of the Israel Airports Authority has decided to halt the airport workers' strike, ahead of meetings on Monday.The Workers Union originally blocked the departure and landing of all flights on Friday morning after commencing industrial action, the Authority announced.Flights originally affected included the 17 departures and 20 arrivals that were expected on Friday, including those to and from New York, Moscow and Toronto. It was later announced that two Wizz Air flights would depart Ben-Gurion on Friday as previously scheduled.Transportation Minister Miri Regev has voiced harsh criticism over the conduct of the Finance Ministry which she claims led to the crisis with the workers union On Tuesday, the IAA’s workers union threatened to shut down Israel’s airports next week if the government does not finalize a date for the renewal of aviation traffic and enable foreign nationals to enter the country again.Initial hopes to increase operations in June have been dismissed in recent days, with Ben-Gurion Airport managing-director Shmuel Zakai now expecting that Israel will only open its gates to foreign visitors in mid-July.“Unfortunately, the Health Ministry has not yet set a date for the return of flights,” the workers union said in a statement, emphasizing that 2,500 IAA employees currently on unpaid leave are set to stop receiving financial assistance on July 1.
