The US will limit the total of KC-135 Stratotankers at Ben Gurion Airport to a capped amount, according to Israel’s transport minister. Previous reports suggested that a suspension in US aerial refueling flights could affect tens of thousands of passenger reservations. Israel had previously barred more aircraft from landing. The KC-135 continues as a primary asset for in-flight refueling in this region. The lower cap aims to reduce airport bottlenecks while keeping some refueling support.
