Ben Gurion Airport posts busiest day since the Iran war as summer aliyah surge gets under way

Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport recorded over 75,000 passengers in a single day, the highest since Operation Roaring Lion began February 28, as international carriers resumed full service and Israelis returned for summer travel. The rebound coincides with Nefesh B'Nefesh's summer aliyah surge, with approximately 2,300 North American olim expected between June and September across 47 group flights coordinated from New York, New Jersey, Miami, Boston, and Los Angeles.
