"The US-Iran agreement establishing a two-week ceasefire (Event 1) directly created the security conditions that allowed Israel to evaluate the expansion of flight operations at Ben-Gurion Airport, as the new event explicitly cites the ceasefire declaration as the catalyst for resuming full schedules."
"Event 3 describes the aviation sector facing cost surges due to the conflict, while the new event describes the restoration of aviation infrastructure following the ceasefire. These are parallel developments in the same sector reflecting the transition from conflict-induced disruption to post-conflict recovery."
