Tel Aviv, Israel - June 18, 2025 - The first repatriation flight from Larnaca as part of Operation “Safe Return” landed Wednesday morning at Ben Gurion Airport.
The Airports Authority reinforced staffing at the airport to expedite the processing of passengers, who underwent a fast-track entry procedure and baggage collection.
Returning Israelis were then transported to their vehicles in airport parking lots and via shuttles and trains to city centers across the country.
The Airports Authority emphasized that due to the current security situation, the public should avoid coming to the airport to greet passengers or ordering taxis for pickup.
Transportation Minister Miri Regev visited the control tower at Ben Gurion and spoke with the pilot of the first El Al repatriation flight prior to its landing.
