Prestwick Airport to handle more US flights
30.07.06
Two American flights carrying 'hazardous cargoes' bound for Israel were due at Prestwick Airport to refuel this weekend. One landed yesterday and another is due at the airport today.
The planes are travelling from San Antonio in Texas to Tel Aviv. A Civil Aviation Authority spokesman said: 'They are hazardous material flights - the items that they are carrying are understood to be of a dangerous nature. They are landing at Prestwick for refuelling, and needed an exemption to be able to land in the UK. This was granted last week.'
It is unclear exactly what will be on board the planes. However, campaigners fear they are carrying more hi-tech bombs to be used in the conflict in Lebanon.
