Disruption at Ben Gurion Airport
Ben Gurion Airport has come to a complete halt due to significant chaos caused by a shortage of workers and the suspension of passenger check-in procedures and baggage handling. Operations for flights have been closed until 8:00 PM. This has forced many flights, including an Air France flight, to return or miss connections, with around 80 other flights expected to be rerouted. Baggage has accumulated, parking lots are overcrowded, and the crisis has caused major confusion among travelers. Political threats have emerged, with Benjamin Netanyahu warning about expelling the head of the workers' committee from the Likud party. Meanwhile, labor unions denied any strike action, attributing the situation to a chronic staffing shortage and unpreparedness for the summer travel season. Flights gradually resumed after intervention from management and talks were held. However, the crisis revealed deep issues in the administration of Israeli airports and indicated that restoring normal operations could take some time.
