- Holiday travel surge is the cause.

- Authorities apologize for inconvenience.
Israel's Airports Authority announced on Sunday that all parking lots at Ben Gurion Airport are completely full due to a significant increase in passenger volume ahead of the High Holidays. The authority issued an unusual notice urging travelers and those accompanying them to avoid arriving at the airport by private car and to use public transportation exclusively.
The surge in travelers is a yearly occurrence during the Tishrei holiday period, which sees a substantial rise in both departing passengers and those arriving to see off or meet travelers. This influx is contributing to overall congestion not only in the parking facilities but also within the airport terminals and other facilities.
The Airports Authority stated that the parking lot closure will remain in effect until further notice and apologized for any inconvenience. They advised passengers to plan their journeys to the airport using public transport or private shuttles. Further updates on parking availability will be provided as the situation changes.
