Train Changes at Ben Gurion Airport: What Travelers Need to Know

Planning to fly into Ben Gurion Airport? Here’s an important update about train services that could affect your arrival plans. Israel Railways is currently operating on reduced hours due to security guidelines, which means fewer trains running to and from the airport.

The good news? They’re running special dedicated trains specifically for passengers arriving on evacuation flights at Ben Gurion Airport. This means if you’re coming in on one of these flights, there will be trains available to help get you to your destination, even with the modified schedule.

If you’re flying into Ben Gurion on a regular flight, it’s worth checking the current train schedule before you land, as the reduced hours might affect your onward travel plans. You can always count on taxis and buses as backup options, but trains are usually the most convenient and cost-effective way to reach Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and other destinations from the airport.

We recommend staying flexible with your arrival transportation plans and having a backup option ready. The situation is being monitored closely, so service levels may adjust as needed.
