Israel's Airports Authority has announced adjusted operating hours for two key border crossings with Jordan, Allenby Bridge and Arava, on October 2nd. The changes are a direct result of suspended flights from Dubai, which has led a significant number of Israelis to seek alternative routes home via Jordan. The Allenby Bridge terminal will close at 6:00 PM on October 2nd, while the Arava crossing will remain open until 8:00 PM. These altered hours are temporary, affecting only that single day, as both crossings typically close earlier. The authorities are advising travelers to verify the updated schedule and plan their border crossings accordingly, noting a substantial increase in passenger traffic at both terminals in recent days. Allenby Bridge and Arava have become primary entry points for individuals traveling from the UAE. Officials are urging the public to remain calm and follow on-site instructions, confirming that no additional entry or exit restrictions have been implemented at this time.
