Ben Gurion Airport Resumes Full Operations After 25-Hour Strike
Ben Gurion Airport has returned to full operational capacity after a 25-hour strike by airport workers, which began on Thursday morning and concluded Friday morning. The strike, which caused significant disruptions to air travel, was reportedly resolved following negotiations between the Histadrut labor union and airport authorities.
Details of the agreement that ended the strike were not immediately released, but sources indicate that the resolution involved concessions from both sides. The Histadrut had been demanding improved working conditions and salary adjustments for airport employees. The strike led to the cancellation and delay of numerous flights, impacting thousands of passengers and causing considerable economic damage.
During the strike, only emergency and humanitarian flights were permitted to operate. The airport's management expressed regret for the inconvenience caused to travelers and urged passengers to check their flight status with their respective airlines. The resolution of the labor dispute is expected to allow for the gradual resumption of normal flight schedules.
