Israeli media say 10 more US refueling aircraft heading to Ben Gurion Airport

Ten additional US aerial refueling aircraft are on their way to Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport, bringing the number stationed there to 40, Israeli media reported Saturday, Anadolu reports. The Calcalist newspaper said the aircraft are expected to join 30 US refueling planes already parked at the airport. It cited the Israel Airports Authority, which said the unusually large number of military aircraft has placed a significant operational burden on the airport, causing civil flight delays of around two hours in recent days, with disruptions expected to worsen once the additional aircraft arrive. The report noted that the airport typically experiences its busiest travel period during July and August.
