Israel Promotes Major Expansion of Ben Gurion Airport Terminal 3 ATLANTA | News
Israel’s Airports Authority has launched a public tender for the expansion of Terminal 3 at Ben Gurion Airport, promoting a major capacity expansion at the country’s main international gateway.
The project includes a new eastern passenger terminal of approximately 50,000 square meters, along with a 215,000 square meter, two-level underground facility for baggage handling and security checkpoints, marking one of the largest upgrades in the airport’s recent history.
The passenger terminal will feature extensive concourses, airline check-in areas, restaurants, offices and commercial space aimed at improving capacity and the overall traveler experience.
Ben Gurion Airport serves as Israel’s main international gateway, handling the vast majority of incoming and outgoing passenger traffic.
The expansion reflects Israel’s continued investments in infrastructure to support future international travel and improve the arrival experience for visitors.
“Modern transportation infrastructure is essential to the visitor experience and the long-term growth of tourism in Israel,” said Lorin Maugery, consul director of the Israeli Ministry of Tourism, US Southern Region. “These investments will help ensure that Israel remains well-positioned to welcome more and more visitors in the coming years.”
The project is subject to completion of the permitting process before construction begins.
