Ben Gurion Airport Reopens Parking After Overnight Crisis
Ben Gurion Airport has reopened its public parking lots less than 24 hours after announcing they were completely full, a move that caused significant disruption for travelers. The Israel Airports Authority announced Sunday that all parking facilities at the main international gateway were at maximum capacity, urging passengers and those dropping them off to use public transportation instead.
However, by Monday morning, the situation had reversed. The Authority issued a new notice stating that spaces had become available in the public parking areas, allowing private vehicles to park once again. Despite the reopening, the Authority cautioned that parking is still subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed at all times.
The initial parking shortage occurred amid a surge in passenger traffic during the High Holidays, a period of intense travel activity in Israel. The sudden reversal highlights the dynamic nature of airport logistics and the challenges of managing capacity during peak travel seasons.
