US forces pull refueling aircraft from Ben Gurion
The U.S. Air Force has begun relocating some of its refueling aircraft stationed at Ben Gurion Airport, aimimg to maintain smooth commercial air traffic as the busy travel season approaches, during which more than 2.6 million travelers are expected in August, with an average of about 100,000 passengers per day—one of the highest congestion levels since October 7. This measure was taken at the request of Israeli Transportation Minister Miri Regev, in order to free up additional space on the runway and aircraft tarmac. It coincides with expectations of reaching a diplomatic agreement soon, amid rapidly evolving regional security developments.
