All parking lots at Ben Gurion International Airport are completely full, the Airports Authority announced on Sunday. The spokesperson confirmed there are currently no available spaces for vehicles.
This exceptional congestion is attributed to a sharp, record increase in the number of travelers heading abroad for holidays coinciding with the Jewish High Holidays. The authority stated that this surge has led to the parking facilities reaching maximum capacity.
In response, the Airports Authority issued an urgent appeal to travelers, strongly advising them against coming to the airport in private cars. They recommended relying entirely on public transportation, such as trains and buses, to avoid severe traffic jams and prevent missing flights.
The call aims to mitigate the extensive traffic likely caused by the high volume of passengers during this peak travel period.
