The Israel Airports Authority says travelers should expect delays after Greece shut down arrivals and departures at all its airports due to unspecified issues affecting radio frequencies.
The IAA says that the Greek shutdown of its airspace is expected to last through at least 4 p.m., and that it will cause delays in both arrivals and departures at Ben Gurion Airport.
Airlines are working “to find alternate routes,” the airports authority adds.
