A Delta Air Lines Airbus A330neo arriving from New York was isolated at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv on 13 October after an anonymous report alleged that a suspicious device or bomb was on board. Passengers disembarked as security personnel moved the aircraft to a remote area for inspection. Authorities later reported no unusual findings, and airport operations returned to normal.
The aircraft, registered N423DX, operated Delta’s direct service from New York John F. Kennedy International Airport. It departed on 12 October at approximately 15:55 and landed shortly after 08:25 local time on 13 October.
Ben Gurion security personnel conducted a thorough search after receiving the anonymous warning. Initial assessments indicated that the threat was likely unfounded, but the aircraft was handled under established security procedures. No explosive device or suspicious item was reported found.
The number of passengers and crew was not disclosed, and the source of the warning had not been established. Delta resumed flights to Israel in September after a suspension of more than six months and operates direct service between New York and Ben Gurion.
