To cut down on noise and air pollution, Israel’s airport’s authority has announced that the use of four-engine planes would be prohibited as of 31 March 2023.
The authority said that it had informed airlines that they would no longer be permitted to land big jets at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv beginning in March 2023 summer season as part of a larger plan under preparation to enhance the local environment.
Due to the widespread elimination of 747s and other four-engine planes from service to Israel, the regulation mainly affects cargo flights.
El Al, Israel’s national airline, no longer operates any Boeing 747s but instead operates twin-engine Boeing 777s and 787s for its long-haul flights. To get to Ben Gurion, competitors utilise the same Boeing flights or similar Airbus planes; however, some still rely on 747s for cargo.
