Figures are based on flights recorded in our database. During Operation "Roaring Lion" (11 Feb–15 May 2026) the airport was closed/disrupted and some days were not captured; this period is excluded from the rankings to avoid skew.
The shaded band (Feb–mid-May 2026) marks Operation “Roaring Lion”, when Ben Gurion was closed or operating at reduced capacity. Those months are shown for transparency but excluded from the headline figure above. Months tagged “partial” were only tracked for part of the calendar month, so their flight count is lower than a full month. This page is a living record — its value grows as more months of routine operation accumulate.
