So does this mean BEDEK will no longer be converting 747 passenger aircraft into freighters?

Conversions will continue. BEDEK is a heavy hitter in the civil/military component of the Israeli economy. BEDEK will get a pass.

Wait until they need to transport something big that only fits through a 747 nose door or something like a An-124.

It's rules for thee, not for me. Right out of the authoritarian leftist government playbook

Jan 6, trump refusing to accept election results, Lindsey Graham calling for riots if trump is charged for stealing TS/SCI docs ... pretty sure this is acting like fascists.

I understand what they are trying to accomplish, but with today's tech in engines, this really is no longer an issue. Fuel use per passenger is lowest on 4 engine aircraft. I think someone got their panties in a waud about these big mean 4 engine gas guzzlers

I assume they are only talking about commercial planes. I'm pretty sure the IAF doesn't have an easy replacement for its C-130s. Most USAF supply flights to Israeli AFBs are done with C-17s and C-130s.

- The IAF has about 8 to 9 vintage 707's. Some ex-TWA and PanAm. Some very early USAF KC135's. All rockin' the skies with the old smokin' JT3D-3 engines. The smoke from the engines is an indistinguishable visual clue. None have been re-engine to a cleaner CFM56 version. Look.!, up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, nope just another smoky Re'em. ( The ban will be on civilian aircraft only )

My bad, accidentally reported you as spam an nor reply. I'm not familiar with airfields in Israel, but this mainly apply to Ben Gurion/TLV. As I sted earlier, it's pretty much appeasing to environmentalists. I've never been there but TLV is also a touristy are from my understanding. That said, a lot of tourists aren't big into aviation spotting. And also of note, the pax terminal is rather small.

From what I read there will be exceptions for government aircraft and cargo operations. I think I read that in a different article last week but can't remember where I read it. Either way it's just one of those feel good environmentalist move.

Is this really a huge problem, worthy of authoritarian government intervention?

As soon as Israel sees the $$$ decline because of a not-thought-through policy, it will be rescinded. It makes no sense to ban planes like the 747-8, which has the latest in technology that improves efficiency, and noise, lower carbon emissions.

Ridiculous. When did Israel turn Democrat?

Checks watch…

It hasn’t. Generally, Israel is centrist. Remember, Netanyahu was PM for 15 years and he’s far from left. He also grifted for decades.

Just because a country doesn’t support your political views doesn’t mean it is as polarized as it is now in the US..

I bet you never been there, have you?

Really? Your statement is ridiculous, why do you feel the need to make this a political issue? No wonder there is such a divide in our political discourse....
