Ben Gurion Airport Expects Record 100,000 Travelers Amid Jewish Holidays
Ben Gurion International Airport is anticipating a record-breaking day for passenger traffic on Thursday, with approximately 100,000 travelers expected to pass through the facility.
The surge in passengers coincides with the Jewish holiday period, a traditionally busy time for air travel. The Israel Airports Authority has announced the deployment of additional staff across all airport facilities to manage the significant increase in passenger numbers and flight activity.
For the entire month of September, Ben Gurion Airport is projected to handle around 2.5 million passengers, marking it as one of the busiest periods of the year. Popular departure destinations for travelers on Thursday include Greece, Cyprus, Italy, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates.
In related news, the low-cost airline Wizz Air has announced plans to expand its operations in Israel. This expansion includes launching new routes to various European destinations, following several suspensions of flights to and from Israel over the past year, reportedly due to the conflict with Iran.
