The Israel Airports Authority calls on travelers to arrive early at Ben Gurion Airport for their flights tomorrow, when anti-government protesters plan to block roads and ground flights.
The IAA says those who can should arrive by train, adding passengers should be in touch with the airlines they’re flying on.
“The Israel Airports Authority will do everything possible to ensure passengers tomorrow fly at their scheduled flight times and to maintain operational continuity at Ben Gurion Airport,” it says in a statement.
Meanwhile, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir warns the airport and key transportation routes “are out of bounds.”
