JERUSALEM, March 23 (Reuters) - El Al Israel Airlines

said on Monday it was reviewing its continued

operations after the Transportation Ministry ordered a reduction

of traffic at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv.

Israel's flag carrier, which has been operating repatriation

flights since the outbreak of the U.S.-Israeli led air war with

Iran on February 28, called on authorities to open Ramon Airport

near the Red Sea city of Eilat as an alternative to Ben Gurion.
