- Holiday travel is causing significant strain on airport parking.

Ben Gurion Airport's parking lots have reopened after a day-long closure due to full capacity, the Israel Airports Authority announced Thursday morning. The authority had issued an unusual warning Wednesday, urging travelers not to arrive by private car and to use public transportation instead, as all parking facilities were completely full. The directive has now ended, though the authority cautioned that parking availability may change rapidly due to the ongoing Rosh Hashanah holiday travel rush.
This situation highlights a persistent problem with airport parking, particularly during peak travel periods. Previously, short-term parking near Terminal 3 has been closed during busy times, forcing drivers to use remote lots and shuttle buses even for brief stays. The question remains how the parking system will manage the upcoming peak travel days of the holidays, even with the current reopening.
