Etihad Tel Aviv flights cancelled, delayed amid Ben Gurion Airport workers strike

Etihad Airways has experienced disruptions to its Tel Aviv flights due to an unplanned industrial action at Ben Gurion International Airport. One Tel Aviv-Abu Dhabi service was cancelled, while other flights operating from Tel Aviv to Abu Dhabi were delayed or operating with limited passengers. Additionally, flights operating in the reverse direction from Abu Dhabi to Tel Aviv were delayed.

This disruption was caused by "unplanned industrial action affecting a number of airlines at Ben Gurion International Airport." Etihad advised passengers to update their contact details in the Manage My Booking section of its website to receive important flight updates. The disruption also had economic consequences, with the Israeli Finance Ministry estimating losses of 25 million to 30 million shekels ($8.3 million-$10 million).
