Aviation officials are raising concerns about the continued presence of a large number of US refueling tankers at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel. These tankers are reportedly occupying space needed for commercial flights, creating congestion and potential disruptions. Officials are requesting the removal of at least 15 additional tankers to alleviate the issue before the peak summer travel season, when approximately 100,000 travelers are expected to pass through the airport. The crowding of military aircraft is posing a risk to civilian flights. The situation has prompted calls for prioritization of civilian air traffic during the busy July-August period. Failure to address the issue could lead to delays and cancellations for summer travelers. The Times of Israel first reported on the growing concerns.
