Air France complied with a new directive from the Israeli Ministry of Transport within a week, according to an internal note obtained by Mediapart. The directive states that no crew member entering Israeli airspace can hold the nationality or dual nationality of a country that does not have formal diplomatic relations with Israel. This rule was reportedly issued in response to a recent attempt to carry out a terrorist attack. The Israeli government has made it clear that crew members from certain countries are not allowed to fly over its airspace. The directive aims to enhance security by limiting access to Israeli airspace for individuals from nations with which Israel does not have formal diplomatic ties. This includes countries such as Iran, Syria, and Venezuela, among others. Air France reportedly relayed the directive to its crew members, ensuring they adhered to the new restrictions. However, one report suggests that the airline's compliance was not fully thorough. While the airline took the instruction seriously, some reports indicate that it may have applied the rule inconsistently or with limited enforcement. The situation highlights the growing complexity of international aviation regulations in response to security concerns. As countries continue to adjust their policies based on geopolitical tensions, airlines must navigate a constantly changing landscape of travel restrictions and safety protocols.
