Long wait times are being reported by passengers at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv due to heavy delays in baggage handling.
The Israel Airports Authority says in an emailed response that “there are temporary delays due to congestion, which will be reduced in the near future.”
The Airports Authority says delays are due to a “backlog of landings and backlog of takeoffs, as passengers are returning from Hanukkah holidays.”
