Israel Airports Authority reopened Ben Gurion Terminal 1 on June 28 for domestic flights to and from Ramon Airport, the main air gateway to Eilat, the Arava and the Negev, restoring a key southern air link after wartime restrictions. From July 1, Terminal 1 will additionally resume international departures while all international arrivals continue to use Terminal 3. The reopening completes a phased aviation recovery as foreign carriers ramp up Tel Aviv service into the summer 2026 tourism season.
