✈️ Major delays at Ben Gurion Airport Dozens of flights are reportedly delayed this morning due to major disruptions in baggage loading. Israir 249 to Salzburg — scheduled for 6:30 AM, but passengers reported waiting on board for more than two hours while their luggage remained outside. Arkia flight — passengers reported being stuck on the aircraft for around two hours while the plane remained at the gate without luggage. Passengers describe extremely long lines and heavy congestion in the baggage-handling area. It is still unclear whether the disruption is caused by a ground-staff strike or unusually heavy airport congestion. Runway 972: Boarding Pass to the Hottest Aviation Buzz ⤵️
