Over the last two weeks, Ben Gurion Airport has seen more passengers arriving in Israel than departing, with daily arrivals averaging 32,200 and departures around 26,000. Israir CEO Uri Sirkis believes this trend is due to Israelis returning home to vote in the upcoming Knesset elections. While the gap is significant, overall arrival numbers are not unusually high compared to previous months, and the data doesn't confirm voting as the sole reason for travel.
