Every so often, in airports around the world the ground crew’s vehicle will clip the wing of a plan on the tarmac, but it is unusual, and it is even more unusual when such vehicles keep running into planes that all belong to the same airline and at the same airport. At Luton Airport, just outside London, there were three such collisions recently, and in every case, the airplane belonged to the Israeli airline Israir. This has raised suspicions that members of the airport’s ground staff, out of anti-Israel animus, may have been deliberately targeting Israeli planes. More on the latest collision between a service vehicle and an Israir plane readying for take-off at Luton Airport, can be found here: “London Authorities Probe Collision Between Service Vehicle and Israir Jet Amid Nationalistic Sabotage Fears,” by Ailin Vilches Arguello, Algemeiner, July 20, 2026:
British aviation authorities have launched an investigation after a service vehicle struck an Israir aircraft preparing to depart for Tel Aviv from London Luton Airport, amid growing Israeli concerns over a possible nationalist motive in what officials describe as the third incident involving an Israeli carrier.
This is the third and latest incident where a service vehicle at an English airport has collided with a stationery Israeli plane.
Israir Flight 116 had been scheduled to leave London Luton Airport at 5 p.m. local time on Thursday, heading to Tel Aviv’s Ben-Gurion Airport with an expected arrival shortly after midnight.
However, Israir — Israel’s second-largest airline — was forced to cancel and reschedule the flight after a towing vehicle collided with and damaged the aircraft, leaving the plane out of service, disrupting travel for about 300 passengers, and prompting a technical investigation.
After hours of uncertainty and frustration, passengers were either taken to nearby hotels or rebooked on later flights, while Sabbath-observant travelers remained stranded in London until Sunday before they could continue their journey to Israel.
Israeli authorities are now examining possible courses of action with local counterparts after senior aviation officials raised concerns that the damage to the aircraft may have been deliberate.
Passengers described a chaotic scene after the collision, saying they remained inside the aircraft for hours without air conditioning while awaiting updates, with some reporting minor medical issues before they were finally allowed to disembark….
For its part, London Luton Airport said it was working closely with relevant operators and authorities to investigate the incident, while dismissing suggestions that the collision was a deliberate act….
If the investigation is just about to begin, then how can Luton Airport so early on dismiss the possibility that the collision may have been deliberate? How can it say that “any suggestion that this was a deliberate attack was entirely unfounded?” On what basis can it say that? As a matter of fact, the Israeli airline Israir believes that vandals at London Luton Airport have deliberately targeted its aircraft, with ground service vehicles colliding with the carrier’s planes on three occasions in less than a year.
Given that suspicion, what the airport authorities should have said in their statement is this: “This collision of a service vehicle with an Israir plane will be thoroughly investigated and every avenue explored, including the possibility, suggested by some, that in light of previous incidents of a similar nature, it may have been a deliberate act.”
There. That’s better.

Maybe the moslemites in Britain believe the island is theirs. Stiff upper lip won’t be as effective as arrest and deportation of entire families. Churchill warned of this.

When I fly to the UK, as I am disabled if I get any help, the helpers are Muslim, when I go through security I am patted down by a Muslima, the driver taking me to the rental car place is a Muslim, I cannot imagine that the guys tearing around the ramp are from any other demographic and I don’t think they are blind.

If the guys driving the service vehicles first names are Moo Ham Ass that might be a clue. I’d be really concerned if any Western aircraft is being maintained by a moose slime mechanic

>>British aviation authorities have launched an investigation after a service vehicle struck an Israir aircraft preparing to depart for Tel Aviv from London Luton Airport . . .
Not a hard investigation. Just find out who were driving the service vehicles and determine their religion. If they’re moslems named Mohammed you have your answer. Authorities shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss that this might be a deliberate act of sabotage.
Dave says
Exceptionally poor security.
Oh, wait.
Maybe, that was the idea all along.
The UK has, for all intents and purposes, become a subservient Dhimmi to Islam.
I thought the UK was made of sterner stuff. I wonder when the jizya tax starts?

if anything bad will happen to the Israeli airplane because of damage made in luton by the muslims crew i suggest that the mossad should help those muslims die in their sleep
Ernie says
Why in their sleep? I think they should be aware and feel as much fear as possible before their departing .

muzzies cause a lot of damage wherever they are….but it’s not an accident, it’s an on purpose.
With as many as there are in other fields of employment, one can be sure they are all over that airport.
None of them should be anywhere near a plane.
somehistory says
The airport authorities should consider having he eyes of their employees tested….because airplanes are really big things and the drivers of the carts should be able to see and avoid hitting them.
They likely do *see* them very well, and that’s why they are hitting the aircraft.

Israeli Planes Keep Getting Hit on the Tarmac at the UK’s Luton Airport
………………………………………………………………………………………….
What kind of insanity is this? This is something that under normal conditions happens *very* rarely–and there are almost always extenuating circumstances, such as the airplane being rescheduled to a different runway at the last minute.
It is also very dangerous–to the drivers, to airplane crew, and passengers.
The idea of this happening *three times*–and all affecting the same small airline–accidentally strains credulity. Investigate these creeps–and then fire them.
Tim gallagher says
Could be Muslims or it could be leftists employees who also share the current trendy derangement syndrome aimed at Israelis and all Jews that is so common these days. The inquiry will, no doubt, be a cover up.
tgusa says
“Could be Muslims or it could be leftists employees”
Thats right. Therefore, allahu akbar or sieg heil.
Tim gallagher says
That’s right, tgusa. This evil , insane hatred of Jews these days is sickening. It is almost like we are living in 1930s Germany. Of course plenty of people don’t share this evil attitude, but too many do. As for Muslims, well they hate all non Muslims, evil scum that they are
