The US Federal Transportation Authority expects to downgrade El Al safety to substandard and ban new flights from Israel due to glaring problems with airport safety. Oddly, Israeli airport security is usually considered good, and US experts recently studied Ben Gurion operations. Now it appears they were investigating the airport.

It’s not the security rating that was downgraded. It’s the safety rating. The two are not the same. There are near-accidents all the time, and Air Traffic at BG is running a severely outdated system. This has absolutely nothing to do with protection from threats, etc.
Thank you
