Ben Gurion Airport crisis as American Airlines warns of 2.4 million cancellations
Israeli airports are experiencing a crisis due to a decline in international flights, as the country plans to transfer about half of American fuel supply planes from Ben Gurion Airport to Air Force bases to avoid canceling over 2.4 million travel tickets during the summer season and holidays. The Minister of Transport warned of significant economic damage and losses amounting to billions of shekels, emphasizing that if the situation continues, flight cancellations and a decline in air traffic could occur. The crisis is due to the congestion of American aircraft at the airport as a result of the ongoing war with Iran, coupled with a passenger traffic decrease of over 73%, leading to substantial losses for companies and impacting tourism and the national economy.
