The US will cap the number of KC-135 Stratotankers at the site to the new limit, according to Israel’s transport minister. Initial reports suggested that a stoppage in US aerial refueling flights could affect tens of thousands of Travel bookings. Israel had previously stopped more aircraft from landing. The KC-135 remains a vital asset for in-flight refueling in that part. The lower cap seeks to alleviate airport bottlenecks while keeping limited refueling support.
