Ben Gurion Airport’s management and the workers’ committee have reached an agreement to end the strike, with flights resuming from 3pm on Thursday. The stoppage had caused massive queues and unprecedented congestion throughout the day at Israel’s largest airport. The Israeli Airports Authority said the workers’ committee had launched an unannounced strike that caused significant disruption to airport operations. The sudden nature of the walkout left thousands of passengers stranded and forced the cancellation or delay of numerous flights during one of the busiest travel days of the week. Both sides have now agreed terms to restore normal operations, though the full details of the agreement have not yet been disclosed. The strike is likely to have ripple effects throughout Thursday evening and Friday as airlines work to reschedule affected flights and process the backlog of passengers.
