New Restrictions Follow Hijacking Attempt On Flydubai Flight
Israel has barred Pakistani pilots and cabin crew from serving on flights entering its airspace following a hijacking attempt on a flydubai flight last month. The new restrictions, issued by Israel’s Transportation Ministry, also apply to nationals of over two dozen countries without official diplomatic relations with Israel. Air France and United Airlines have adjusted their crew assignments in response to the policy, as reported by Business Standard.
