"Before making this decision, the FAA worked with its U.S. government counterparts to assess the security situation in Israel and carefully reviewed both significant new information and measures the government of Israel is taking to mitigate potential risks to civil aviation," the FAA said. American Airlines — parent company of US Airways, which has one daily flight from Philadelphia to Tel Aviv — said: We are in the process of assessing the situation and will make a decision as soon as possible on when to resume service. The FAA's flight ban was criticized by the Israeli government and by Republican Sen.
