Israeli Transport Minister Directs US Tanker Planes to Land at Air Force Bases Instead of Ben Gurion Airport
Following Israel's decision to limit the number of American refueling aircraft allowed to land at Ben Gurion Airport, Transport Minister Miri Regev held a situation assessment on the matter. She emphasized that during the peak summer travel season, hundreds of thousands of Israelis have purchased tickets for vacations, and the government promised not to cancel any flights due to the presence of US tanker planes.
Minister Regev instructed the Israel Airports Authority to restrict landings of US refueling aircraft to the agreed number of 20 planes at Ben Gurion Airport. Any additional American tanker planes will be directed to land at Israeli Air Force bases instead, ensuring that civilian flights remain unaffected during the busy summer period.
