The Federal Aviation Administration, a U.S. federal agency, hasn’t responded to questions from Rep. Marc Molinaro (R-N.Y.) about its guidance to U.S. airlines in the wake of widespread canceled flights to Israel, Jewish Insider reported.

Molinaro, a member of the U.S. House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, had given the FAA administrator until Sept. 6 to respond, per Jewish Insider.
