Sudden Strike Halts Ben Gurion Airport
Ben Gurion Airport in Israel experienced a complete shutdown of flight operations due to a sudden strike by check-in staff, leading to service disruptions and thousands of travelers gathering inside the terminals. This occurred during one of the busiest travel days, with approximately 100,000 passengers and 600 scheduled flights. The strike lasted until 3:00 PM, causing chaos and hindering flight operations, amid growing criticism over the crew shortage that had been previously warned about. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that the airport would operate normally, and any disruption caused by the strikers would be promptly addressed by sending the offending workers home. The problem came at a time when the airport was already experiencing ongoing disruptions, including long delays in baggage handling and flight delays, making it one of the most tumultuous airports in the world.
