Transportation on Shabbat and Holidays from the Airport

Public Transportation on Shabbat — What Runs and What Doesn't?

Train service to Ben Gurion Airport does not operate on Shabbat and Israeli holidays. This poses a significant challenge for passengers whose flights are scheduled for Shabbat or a holiday. It is important to plan your transportation to or from the airport in advance on these days.

Transportation Options Available on Shabbat

Despite the train stoppage, several transportation options remain available on Shabbat and holidays. Shared taxis (sherut) depart from Gate 3 and operate 24 hours a day, including on Shabbat and holidays. Additionally, the free shuttle from the parking lot to Terminal 3 runs nonstop every day of the week.

Private taxis and pre-booked transfers are also available at all hours. Another strategic solution is to stay at a nearby hotel, such as Sadot Hotel, which offers a free 24/7 shuttle to the airport, allowing convenient arrival at any hour — even when public transportation is not running.

• Free parking-to-Terminal 3 shuttle — runs 24/7 every day of the week
