Ben Gurion Airport’s Terminal 1, designated for low-cost and Eilat flights, will reopen on June 1, the Transportation Ministry announced on Tuesday.
The move is expected to bring back airlines, like Ryanair, that halted flights but promised to return upon Terminal 1's reopening, drawn by its lower fees of $11 per passenger versus Terminal 3's $27.
Terminal 1 was closed shortly after the outbreak of the war, as most airlines grounded their flights to Israel and passenger footfall at Ben Gurion Airport plummeted. (Roy Rubinstein)
