Israel has banned foreign pilots and flight attendants with dual nationality from 31 countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen, from operating flights to Tel Aviv. The move follows a thwarted terror attack on September 30 when a Flydubai first officer from Oman allegedly tried to crash a plane into Ben Gurion Airport. United Airlines has already issued an internal memo to crew, and all foreign airlines flying to Israel must comply with the restriction.
