Ben Gurion Airport Automated People Mover (APM)
Request for Information (RFI) – General requirements
1. Introduction
a. About the airport
Ben Gurion Airport, near Tel Aviv, is Israel's main airport. It is located at the heart of the
country, around 40 km from Jerusalem and 15 km from Tel Aviv.
Today, the Airport has two main terminals: Terminal 3 for international flights and
Terminal 1 for domestic and low‐cost international flights.
i. Existing facilities
The airport is spread over 1,400 Hectare and is measured about 5 kilometers
from the eastern entrance to the western maintenance facility, and about 4
kilometers from the southern entrance to the future planned northern
entrance. Currently, there are several main destinations at the airport:
Terminal 1 – serves domestic flights and low‐cost international flights
and includes airport facility offices and the offices of the Israel Airport
Authority (IAA).
Long Term Parking facility – includes about 4,500 parking spots. Next to
it located the offices of ElAl Airlines.
East Maintenance facility – includes offices, warehouses, and
maintenance structures.
Terminal 3 – The main terminal in the airport that handles all
international flights. The terminal includes a train station and several
parking lots including the rental car facility.
ii. Existing and projected passengers traffic
In 2017, over 20 million passengers have passed through the airport and in 2018
over 23 million passengers are expected to pass. According to the IAA strategic
plan for 2030, passenger traffic will grow to about 30 million by year 2024.
iii. Employees
Currently there are over 23,000 employees working in the airport. This number
is expected to grow to about 27,000 by 2024. אגף תכנון- חטיבת תכנון והנדסה

b. Airport Transportation system
All of the internal travel in the airport today is being done by roadway, either by private
vehicle or shuttles. There is no other way to get from place to place. The main roadway
in the airport connecting the main facilities is Aviation Boulevard connecting the
Terminal 1 area through the long term parking facility, East Maintenance and Terminal
3. The following transport services operate at the airport.
i. Shuttles:
Two bus shuttle services operate in the airport.
Terminal 1 ‐ Terminal 3 Shuttle: operates based on varied schedule with 50‐
80 trips per direction per day and carries about 4,000 daily riders. This
shuttle is also providing access to East Maintenance for employees during
morning and afternoon hours.
Long Term Parking – Terminal 3 Shuttle: operates 24/7 with 10‐20 minutes
headway with about 3,300 daily riders.
ii. Rail Service:
Israel Railway operates a rail line between the major cities in Israel to the
airport with two trains per direction per hour stopping at Terminal 3. In 2016,
about 26,000 daily riders used the Terminal 3 rail station (13,000 arrivals and
13,000 boardings). The internal shuttles from Terminal 3 provide the connection
from the rail station to the rest of the airport destinations. Israel Rail is planning
to add two additional tracks to the existing two and expand the existing station
to allow for additional rail service to the airport to meet future demands. Based
on the Israel Railway projections, it is expected that in 2030 about 36,000 daily
riders will use the Terminal 3 station (18,000 arrivals and 18,000 boardings).
iii. Bus service:
Several bus lines serve the airport with very little headway and not from many
destinations. To date, less than 1% of passengers or visitors use bus service to
get to the airport.
iv. Taxi services:
Taxi service account for a large number of the trips to/from the airport,
especially during the weekend and holidays in which public transportation do
not operate. אגף תכנון- חטיבת תכנון והנדסה
