Ben Gurion Airport has reached a new summer-season record today, with approximately 101,000 passengers expected to pass through — the highest daily figure since the start of the summer, according to aviation journalist Dean Fisher (N12). The Israel Airports Authority reported that the Kerem and Pardes parking lots are currently full, and congestion is expected to persist through the weekend. The busy day follows earlier projections by airport officials and media reports that the airport was bracing for a peak travel day. As The Zioneer has reported, July set a monthly record of over 2.35 million passengers, a 36% increase from last year.
