Flights at Israel’s Ramon Airport have resumed following a temporary suspension due to an earthquake in the southern Eilat region on Wednesday. The Geological Survey of Israel reported that a magnitude 4.5 earthquake struck approximately 30 kilometers south of Eilat at 11:24 a.m. local time.
The airport’s operations were halted to conduct safety inspections and infrastructure checks to ensure passenger safety and the integrity of airport facilities. After completing these assessments, authorities confirmed that the airport had returned to full operation.
Despite the earthquake’s impact on Ramon Airport, Israel’s main international airport, Ben Gurion near Tel Aviv, continued its operations uninterrupted and was not affected by the seismic activity.
