The US will cap the number of KC-135 Stratotankers at a major hub to a capped amount, according to Israel’s transport minister. Earlier reports suggested that a suspension in US aerial refueling flights could affect tens of thousands of passenger reservations. Israel had already barred more aircraft from entering. The KC-135 continues as a critical asset for in-flight refueling in this region. The reduced cap aims to alleviate airport delays while keeping limited refueling support.
