It may be newer 2 engine aircraft are net better in "MPG" terms for freight, and pax loading for Israel doesn't demand 380/747 class craft. The jumbo 747 fleet is ageing, its old motor technology. Newer jumbos are exclusively freight.
Israel imposes far higher safety pre checks on pax. Maybe unit transfer costs in the system as a whole through their enhanced security simply scale better in lower units of pax as a single arrival?
Or maybe this reflects some local issues around noise, pollution, or when just some bizarre muscle flex by a specific segment of the political weirdness of the Knesset?
