FAA May Cut Back Flights From Israel To U.S.
Finds Israel’s Aviation Safety Has Serious Security Flaws
WASHINGTON (CBS) ― The Federal Aviation Administration could soon cut back the number of flights from Israel to the United States after finding Israel’s aviation safety to have “severe security shortcomings,” according to a report by Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
The FAA says it uncovered serious flaws in flight safety during a tour of Israel’s airport security this week.
Primarily, at Ben-Gurion International Airport the FAA found a lack of proper supervision, overcrowded airspace, and outdated technology.
An Israeli air panel came to the same conclusion just a year ago, but no changes were implemented.
A report is expected to be released in 90 days which will detail the FAA’s decision on whether flights from Israel to the U.S. should be limited.

I find this hard to believe.
