The tourism industry has come back to life and with it hundreds of thousands of Israelis who have moved and are moving the pleasant weather of spring beyond the borders of the country.
During the Passover period, about 1.5 million passengers passed through Ben Gurion Airport, many of whom had to stand in long queues and there were also those who were able to arrive at less busy hours and passed the queue relatively quickly.
Today (Sunday) is the busiest day at Ben Gurion Airport since the beginning of the Corona period.
According to data from the Airports Authority, 78,000 passengers passed through Ben Gurion Airport in one day - 42,000 of the passengers are returnees who spent the Passover overseas and 36,000 passengers depart from Israel. 230 flights took off and will take off from Israel and 242 flights will land in Israel during the busy day .
Passengers who passed during the day at Ben Gurion Airport also report long queues in the process of returning to Israel, which until now has been less noticeable.
At the same time, passengers report that there are loads on departure from Israel and that at certain hours, the queues last about two hours or more and it is recommended to prepare in advance.
In order to minimize the long queues, it is recommended to arrive with all the forms and approvals when they are printed and ready, in order to save the delays with the ground daily in the process of leaving Israel.
It is important to emphasize that the long queues at the airport in Israel are not much different from what happens in many places in the world.
In England, for example, quite a few flights are canceled daily due to congestion and the rapid return to routine, along with a shortage of workers.
The long queues are felt at other airports around the world.
