Head of Airport Authority: Israelis should prepare for flight cancellations and delays

Speaking on Kan Reshet Bet radio, Kedmi said: “We are doing everything possible to avoid flight cancellations. But we cannot accept a single additional tanker aircraft at Ben Gurion. If even one more arrives, we will have to start canceling flights. The public must be prepared for cancellations and delays. It must be remembered that this is a civilian airport.”

Let us remind you that on Monday CNN reported that against the backdrop of growing regional tensions, the United States deployed dozens of military aircraft to the Middle East. In particular, an official American source said, F-35 and F-16 combat aircraft are being transferred from air bases located in Europe.

According to an Israeli source, dozens of American refueling aircraft have landed in the country in recent days, with the redeployment continuing. In March, at the height of the operation, 94 tankers were based here; after its completion, about 40 remained.
