Israeli aviation officials are seeking a formal British investigation after an airport service vehicle struck an Israir aircraft at London Luton Airport on Friday, marking the third such collision involving an Israir plane at the airport in less than a year. The latest incident occurred as the aircraft was being towed before its scheduled departure to Tel Aviv. The collision damaged the aircraft, forcing Israir to remove it from service for a technical inspection. After engineers assessed the damage, the airline canceled Flight 6H116, disrupting the travel plans of about 300 passengers.
