Workers ended their strike at Israel’s Ben-Gurion Airport. Flights to and from the airport were scheduled to resume Wednesday after workers ended a strike that crippled the airport for 31 hours. The strike ended after workers accepted management’s offer of an 8 percent wage hike. Some 60 outbound flights were cancelled during the strike, stranding more than 1,500 passengers.
