U.S. Air Force to Reduce Planes at Ben-Gurion Airport
(Israel Hayom) Ariel Kahana - 94 U.S. Air Force refueling aircraft are parked at Ben-Gurion Airport, nearly 1/3 of the entire U.S. refueling aircraft fleet. The American aircraft currently occupy about two-thirds of the airport's available parking spaces. Israeli officials stress that they greatly appreciate the contribution of U.S. forces and their mobilization to help defend Israel during the confrontation with Iran. However, discussions are underway to reduce their number significantly, even if some remain in Israel, in order to allow an expected increase in civilian flights during the peak summer tourism months.
