Ireland’s new government jet ships without key fog-landing tech amid Israeli parts boycott

Ireland’s $61 million Dassault Falcon 6X government jet will arrive without the FalconEye fog-landing system because Ireland is boycotting Israeli-made parts. The safety feature, normally located in the plane’s nose, would aid landings in poor weather, a notable gap for a vehicle intended to transport the Taoiseach and officials. The jet was delivered in 2025 to replace the older Learjet, while four new Irish Air Corps helicopters reportedly include Israeli flight systems due to manufacturing constraints. The move reflects ongoing tensions between Ireland and Israel amid broader diplomatic actions.
