Ben Gurion Airport has announced that all parking lots are at full capacity due to a significant increase in passenger volume ahead of the upcoming holidays. The Israel Airports Authority is urging travelers to avoid arriving at the airport by private vehicle.
Instead, passengers are advised to use public transportation to reach the airport. The surge in travelers is a common occurrence during holiday periods, but this year's numbers appear to be particularly high, leading to the unprecedented closure of all parking facilities.
The Airports Authority stated that the decision was made to manage the overwhelming demand and ensure smoother operations for those already at the airport. Further updates on parking availability will be provided as the situation evolves, though the expectation is that capacity will not be freed up soon given the ongoing holiday travel.
