Ben Gurion Airport is experiencing record summer delays and congestion as passenger numbers surge to over 100,000 daily in August 2026.

The Israel Airports Authority attributes delays mainly to external air traffic control restrictions and ongoing high demand, while industry insiders call for operational adjustments to ease the pressure.
