US Air Force begins relocating refueling aircraft ahead of Ben-Gurion's busiest month - report

The US Air Force has started moving some of its aerial refueling aircraft from Ben-Gurion Airport in Israel due to security concerns, according to a report by N12. This decision follows pressure from Transportation Minister Miri Regev, who urged Israeli security officials to remove the aircraft to maintain normal operations during one of the airport's busiest months. Over 2.6 million passengers are anticipated to pass through Ben-Gurion in August, which is among the busiest periods since the October 7 attack. Airport authorities predict an average of around 100,000 daily passengers, with Monday, August 17, being the peak day. The relocation aims to free up space for handling increased passenger traffic during the summer travel season. The report does not provide specific numbers on how many aircraft were moved or their new locations.
