In Italy they have stopped flights in the North as well. But they are allowing flights for emergencies, such as Berlusconi needing to get to Raimondo Vianello's funeral.
Gli unici voli autorizzati sono stati (e saranno) quelli imposti dall'emergenza. Tra questi, anche il volo della Presidenza del Consiglio, con a bordo Silvio Berlusconi, partito da Roma per assistere alle esequie di Raimondo Vianello a Milano.

well, it's potentially damaging the plane in irreversible but invisible ways... Will he take the same plane later?

Refer to Bible, Lord, smite the enemy.

The smiting seemed to follow most of the time.

Selection bias. When the smiting didn't follow, the Bible doesn't report it.

It does, but there's always a reason God withheld the smite. The Chillun of Israel were whoring after false gods and such.

In fact, the Old Testament offers a series of object lessons in how to succeed in targeted prayer.
