Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Law expands the authority of the director of the Civil Aviation Authority under Section 165 of the Aviation Law, 2011 (hereinafter – the Aviation Law), to grant exemptions from the provisions of the Law, so that he will also be authorized to grant exemptions from the provisions of Section 35 of the Aviation Law regarding the operation of flight aid facilities. Section 165 of the Aviation Law authorizes the director of the Civil Aviation Authority to grant exemptions from provisions under the Aviation Law, only with respect to a list of sections specified therein, where circumstances detailed in the section exist and subject to appropriate measures being taken to maintain flight safety and orderliness. Section 35 of the Aviation Law provides that the operation of a flight aid facility, which is used or intended to be used by civil aircraft, requires approval from the director of the Civil Aviation Authority confirming that the facility is built or installed, maintained and operated in accordance with the terms of the approval. The approval is generally granted after the director has verified that the facility meets the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization. As of today, there are facilities at the Airports Authority that do not meet, in terms of performance and maintenance, the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization, and therefore the director of the Civil Aviation Authority cannot approve them under Section 35 of the Aviation Law. Nevertheless, the Airports Authority has no choice but to continue using such facilities until they are replaced in the future, since refraining from using them would mean halting civil air activity. Upon its entry into force, the Law will allow the director of the Civil Aviation Authority to grant an exemption for these facilities from compliance with the provisions of Section 35 of the Aviation Law.
