Israel Airport Authority anticipates some 1.1 million people to travel on more than 100 airlines to about 180 destinations
Ynet reports that a record number of passengers are scheduled to fly abroad on Passover through the Ben Gurion International Airport, breaking the previous record from the time prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ynet learned on Thursday.
Some 1.1 million people are expected to pass through the Israeli airport, which is an increase of 18% compared to the previous record in 2019.
According to data released by the Israel Airports Authority (IAA), more than 100 airlines will take off from Ben Gurion Airport in April to about 180 destinations worldwide. The most popular destinations are Turkey, Greece, the United States, Italy, and the United Arab Emirates.
During April the airport will be extremely crowded throughout the day, so the recommendation is not to arrive more than three hours before the flight and check in from home – if the company allows it.
