Luggage

Employees leaving early, an overloaded sorting system, and a decision to halt check-in—this is how the crisis that paralyzed Ben Gurion Airport unfolded. Following the report, Workers' Committee Chairman Pinchas Idan interrupted the meeting, claiming the findings were known in advance.

While many passengers were forced to start their summer vacations without their personal belongings, footage from Ben Gurion Airport shows hundreds of suitcases still left out in the open.

Passengers are waiting on the plane for luggage to be loaded, and a flight attendant even claimed to them that it was a wildcat strike: "There are lots of children here, it's insane audacity." Others are waiting for luggage after landing: "Two and a half hours on the floor." Israel Airports Authority: "There is no strike - there is a large cluster of flights."

The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand has announced that starting October 16, security personnel will be authorized to open suspicious checked luggage without the owner's presence to prevent flight delays. Travelers are strongly advised to use TSA-approved locks to avoid potential damage.
