Got it — *Ben Gurion is **officially closed*** (NOTAM) — not just airline cancellations.
That means **no commercial departures** right now.

Let's break this down step by step and explore the viable options — including Jordan — clearly and calmly:

---

## 🇮🇱 1) What the NOTAM means

A NOTAM closure means:

➡️ **No flights are allowed to depart Israel**
Until the closure is lifted or a corridor is opened.

So even if an airline wants to fly, they can’t take off.

This is why Kiwi and airline sites still show flights — but they’re not permitted.

So yes — this is not a technical glitch — it’s a legal closure.

## 🇵🇱 2) The *Karta Pobytu* situation

His Polish residence card (karta pobytu) expires **15.03**, and he must enter the EU by then.

This IS an important deadline.

But:

📌 **Force majeure exception** applies in war.
Countries in the EU understand when someone is prevented from returning due to official airspace closure.

So the first and most critical step:

### 📩 Notify the Polish institution + Polish consulate NOW

He (or his parents) should immediately send written proof to:

• The educational institution in Poland
• The **Polish consulate/embassy** responsible for him

Explaining:

* Ben Gurion Airport is closed by NOTAM
* All flights out of Israel are suspended
* He cannot physically depart

Ask for:

✔ confirmation that his *karta pobytu* expiry will be extended
✔ or at least documented that he was prevented from returning
✔ or that the institution will accept late arrival due to war

This is the safest legal protection.

## 🇯🇴 3) Jordan exit possibility (Amman)

The most realistic alternative *if flights remain closed* is:

### ✈️ Israel → Jordan → onward flight

The typical route would be:

**Israel → Allenby / King Hussein Bridge → Amman, Jordan → flight to EU**

In Amman, airports may still operate international flights because:

✔ Jordan’s airspace might still be open
✔ Airlines might be flying out of Amman even while Israel’s airspace is closed

So **yes — from Amman IS possible that flights are available** even if Ben Gurion is closed.

However it depends on:

1. **Jordan border crossing status**

* Allenby Bridge / Jordanian side must be open
* Security situation affects this

2. **Jordan’s visa policy**

* Israeli citizens sometimes get visas upon arrival, but this must be checked *same day*
* Some borders may require preapproval

3. **Airlines availability out of Amman**

* Airlines like:

* Royal Jordanian
* Aegean Airlines
* Turkish Airlines
* These may fly out of Amman

---

## 🇯🇴 ✔ Practical steps to check Jordan exit

Before attempting:

🔹 Check **Allenby Bridge** is open (Israel & Jordan control points)
🔹 Check **Jordan visa requirements** for an Israeli with a non-biometric passport
🔹 Call airlines out of Amman to see if they have flights and allow boarding with his passport

Only do this if it is actually open and permitted — do not cross without confirmation.

---

## 🛂 Legal exit from Israel

Remember:

Israel generally does not prevent an adult citizen from leaving — but the NOTAM is a physical barrier (no flights can depart).

So the only way out is either:

✔ A corridor opens for flights from Israel
or
✔ He exits over land through Jordan/Egypt while permitted

---

## 🧠 Bottom line for NOW

### 🔹 Do this immediately:

1. **Email Polish institution + Polish consulate**

* Explain NOTAM closure + inability to depart
* Ask for extension or official documentation

2. **Check Jordan land crossing status**

* Allenby Bridge opening hours
* Visa entry requirements

3. **Check flights out of Amman**

## 📩 Example message to Polish institution / embassy

Here is a sample they can send:

> “Due to the official closure of Ben Gurion Airport by NOTAM because of ongoing security events, all flights departing Israel are suspended. Our son is unable to return before 15.03 as required. We request official acknowledgment that he was prevented from returning due to force majeure, and ask for extension of his *karta pobytu* or confirmation of late arrival allowances.”

## ASK ME THIS:

✔ What exact passport number or travel document does he have?
✔ Does he have a valid visa for Jordan already (if needed)?
✔ Is Allenby Bridge currently open?

Tell me that and I’ll map the exact step-by-step route from Afula to Amman and then onward.

We’ll get this sorted
