Ahead of Passover, Ben Gurion Airport has busiest day since Oct. 7, TV report says

Ben Gurion Airport has had its busiest day since October 7, 2023, with 80,000 travelers passing through the facility, Channel 12 reports.

The airport has facilitated around 500 flights today, as passengers fly out ahead of Passover, the report says.

On the same day last year, 60 percent fewer passengers passed through the terminal.

Many international carriers canceled their services to Tel Aviv at the start of the Israel-Hamas war but returned after the January 19 ceasefire, which fell apart last month.
