The Israel Airports Authority also advised passengers to keep up to date with the airlines and the landings and takeoffs.
Delays of multiple flights are expected from Ben-Gurion Airport due to the current heatwave plaguing the country, Israeli media reported on Monday.
The Airports Authority stated that "due to the weather conditions and its effect on technical systems in the control units, and in order to maintain flight safety, it was decided to temporarily cancel the flights landing in the airport." This may cause delays in landings and takeoffs.
The authority also advised passengers to keep up to date with the airlines and the landings and takeoffs.
Delays are expected with flights coming eastward to Israel
