The US will limit the total of KC-135 Stratotankers at Ben Gurion Airport to the new limit, per Israel’s transport minister. Initial reports claimed that a stoppage in US aerial refueling flights could upset tens of thousands of Travel bookings. Israel had earlier barred more aircraft from entering. The KC-135 remains a primary asset for in-flight refueling in this region. The reduced cap is meant to alleviate airport delays while keeping restricted refueling capacity.
