Israel's Airports Authority issued an urgent warning on September 27, 2026, informing travelers departing abroad in the coming days that all parking areas at Ben Gurion Airport are completely full. The surge in demand is attributed to the traditional increase in passenger traffic during the Rosh Hashanah holiday period.
Due to the critical strain on infrastructure, the authority strongly advised citizens to avoid driving to the airport. Instead, travelers are urged to utilize public transportation, including buses and trains, to ensure they reach their flights on time. Transportation officials recommend allocating extra travel time to account for potential delays.
These measures aim to alleviate traffic congestion around the terminals and prevent passengers from missing their check-in times. The airport administration is operating in an intensified mode to manage traffic flow and assist departing passengers. Further updates on flight services and recommendations may be issued based on evolving passenger traffic dynamics.
