An increase in U.S. refueling aircraft at Ben-Gurion Airport has reduced available capacity during the peak summer travel period. Airport officials stated that the added demand for ground services and parking space could force the cancellation of some passenger flights.
The airport handles both commercial passenger operations and military refueling stops. Officials noted that the current volume of refueling aircraft has already limited the number of commercial aircraft that can be accommodated each day.
Airport management said the facility was designed for a fixed number of simultaneous aircraft movements. When military refueling operations exceed that threshold, commercial flights are the first to be affected. No specific number of canceled flights has been announced. Officials indicated that any cancellations would be communicated to airlines and passengers as soon as the schedule is adjusted.
