Ben Gurion Airport experienced significant congestion on Friday morning, with dozens of flights delayed due to baggage loading issues. Passengers reported severe crowding in baggage claim areas and long waits before takeoff. One passenger described chaotic queues and questioned whether the delays were caused by operational overload or a strike, calling the situation "disgraceful." For example, Israir flight 249 to Salzburg, scheduled to depart at 06:30, was delayed for over two hours as luggage remained unloaded outside the aircraft. Another passenger on an Arkia flight recounted being stuck on the plane without luggage for two hours, with a flight attendant indicating that ground staff responsible for baggage had initiated a strike. The delays occurred during peak travel season in August, exacerbating passenger frustration. It remains unclear whether the root cause is a strike by ground crews or exceptional airport congestion.
