要点
- An Ethiopian Airlines cargo flight bound from Ethiopia to Israel took off, only to circle around the airport and ultimately return to its origin. The reason? There was an Indonesian pilot onboard, so he had to be removed, and then the flight could continue.
- Israel enforces new citizenship rules for airline crews
- We recently saw a flydubai Boeing 737 pilot attempt to kill the captain on his flight, so that he could gain control of the aircraft, and crash it into Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport (TLV). Fortunately he was stopped thanks to the heroic captain and passengers, as this was so close to being a tragedy
- In light of that attempted terror attack, Israel has started formally restricting the nationalities of the pilots and flight attendants working flights to Israel. Long story short, crew members can not have citizenship in countries that don’t have diplomatic relations with Israel. Even dual citizens
- In theory there were previously some restrictions intended to be in place in these situations, but they weren’t consistently enforced. That brings us to this situation, where there absolutely was enforcement.
