Israel is preparing for a possible wave of flight cancellations even after the U.S. and Iran reached an understanding and there is expectation that the war with Iran will end soon. The concern remains despite Transportation Minister Miri Regev's demand to clear Ben Gurion Airport.
According to the report, dozens of American U.S. Air Force refueling aircraft are still parked at Ben Gurion Airport, and they are seen as a factor that could lead to cancellations. The aircraft are also affecting the outlook for hundreds of thousands of tickets Israelis have already bought for next month.
The report says some 400,000 airline tickets purchased by Israelis for the coming month are now at risk of being canceled. The situation raises uncertainty for passengers and airlines, including El Al and Arkia, as authorities and the aviation sector prepare for possible disruptions.
