IMPACT — MEDIUM

The Israeli Airport Authority announced that flights are suspended at Ben Gurion International Airport due to an ongoing strike.

Key Points:

  • The strike is set to continue in Israel until further notice; it is unknown when operations will resume at Ben Gurion International Airport.
  • Individuals with travel plans departing from the airport should expect delays and may need to arrange alternative plans for the duration of the strike.
  • Employers may need to adjust their timelines if their employees are among those affected by the flight suspension.

BAL Analysis: Flights were suspended at the airport in response to a strike against the government’s intended judicial reform. Individuals with travel plans scheduled for this week should check with their airline to see if flights have been canceled or changed. BAL will continue following the news in Israel and alert clients to any significant developments.
