🚨 Israel cuts Ben-Gurion traffic to one flight an hour, slashes passenger limits – YNET
A further significant tightening of flight operations at Ben-Gurion Airport was announced Sunday evening, as Transportation Minister Miri Regev and senior ministry officials decided to sharply reduce the number of passengers on outbound flights, apparently to about 50 per flight, alongside an additional cut in overall air traffic.
Under the change, which will take effect at midnight, only one departing flight and one arriving flight will be permitted per hour — a roughly 50% reduction in available slots. The move is expected to further curb passenger traffic and deepen the shortage of outbound flights from Israel.
With the latest tightening, the framework is once again shifting toward stricter limits in line with the current security assessment. Officials in the transportation system said the guidelines could change again at any time.
Mr. W – That means flights coming in, will also be affected.
