Fears of staff shortages at airlines have grown, however, with the prospect of reduced flights looming.
Israir said its flight schedule could be reduced in coming days as its foreign crews were asked to leave the country while some Israeli staff were also recruited to fight.
Flights evacuating foreigners were also leaving Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport.
Iceland said on Monday night it had flown out 126 Icelanders, five Faroese, four Norwegians and 12 Germans that had been stranded in Israel from Amman, Jordan, on a government-sponsored plane.
The Israeli airports authority said 67,000 passengers were expected to travel through Ben Gurion on Tuesday, compared to an average of 80,000 under normal circumstances.
The authority added that it would restrict flights to Ben Gurion airport’s Terminal 3 due to security concerns.
