The model, who is from Israel, tied the knot with billionaire businessman Adi Ezra, at the Carmel Forest resort near Haifa on Thursday, but prior to their ceremony, 30-year-old Refaeli has requested that the air space be closed over her wedding venue.
According to local media reports, the couple were planning to have five drones, two helicopters and an observation balloon circling the venue, some of which were to be used for photographic purposes. Initially, the CAA granted the couple's request for a ban, citing safety reasons, but the decision was later reportedly overturned by Israel's Transport Minister, Yisrael Katz. He is quoted as saying: "The skies belong to all Israeli citizens and we can't offer special treatment for this event over other events." Objections to the ban were also lodged by pilots.
The CAA was later thought to have ignored Mr Katz's comments, by announcing a 'no-fly' zone from 5pm on Thursday, to 2am on Friday. However, Mr Katz is then said to have threatened to sack CAA chief Joel Feldschuh if he did not retract his decision.
On Thursday evening, the transport ministry confirmed to The Jerusalem Post that the skies had stayed open to all air traffic.
