The head of the Airline Safety Committee, Major General Amos Lapidot, said Wednesday that civilian flights are highly unsafe, and called on the government to take the necessary steps to address the problem.
"Ben Gurion airport suffers from a list of deficiencies and handicaps," Lapidot wrote in the report, according to the Jerusalem Post. "The air space is congested, it is used by both military and civilian aircraft and is not managed in due accordance."
He faulted decades of neglect and "anachronistic" aviation laws, saying they were responsible for the problems that Israeli aviation is facing today.
