New Guidelines Require Airlines to Submit Crew Details in Advance

Israel’s National Center for Passenger Information Analysis has issued guidelines requiring airlines to report crew details 48 hours before flights to and from the country. The move aims to strengthen security at Israel’s aerial entry points by giving security agencies more time to conduct background checks and cross-reference intelligence data. Airlines must submit full crew data, including updates, before departure, and transmit a final crew list at takeoff. This development was first reported by AviNews.
