Ben Gurion Airport Reopens Public Parking After Holiday Crowding (Updated)

Updates

  • September 28, 2026: The Israel Airports Authority reopened public parking at Ben Gurion Airport on Monday morning after spaces became available, reversing its Sunday warning that every airport lot was full.

Original report

The Israel Airports Authority said Sunday afternoon that all parking lots at Ben Gurion Airport were full, with no spaces available until further notice. It attributed the shortage to increased passenger traffic during the Tishrei holiday period. The authority asked travelers and people accompanying them to avoid arriving in private cars and use public transportation instead. It said it would issue another update when parking availability changed.
