Ben Gurion Airport Braces for Busiest Day of Year Ahead of Jewish New Year
Ben Gurion Airport is experiencing its busiest day of the year on Thursday, with approximately 100,000 passengers expected to pass through. The surge in travel comes just before the Jewish New Year holiday.
The Israel Airports Authority announced it had increased staffing levels to manage the significant increase in passenger volume. Around 600 aircraft are scheduled for arrival and departure on this peak travel day.
Looking ahead, the airport anticipates a total of 2.5 million passengers throughout the current month, which is characterized by several Jewish holidays. This period typically sees a substantial rise in air travel.
