The Israeli Airports Authority reminds the traveling public that Ben Gurion Airport’s Terminal 1 remains temporarily shut for both arrivals and departures until further notice.
Terminal 1, which is mainly used by low-cost and budget airlines, has been closed since Israel’s airspace was shut to foreign airlines with the start of fighting with Iran on February 28.
All domestic and international flights continue to be operated from Terminal 3 only.
