- Israeli transport ministry relies on foreign airlines for crew security.
- Ministry officials admit 100% security is unattainable.
- No definitive data on pilots from 'hostile countries' landing in Israel.
Israel's Ministry of Transport security division stated that it does not receive advance notification of the names of Fly Dubai flight crews. The ministry relies on the Emirati company for confirmation of security checks performed on its personnel. "We are not an intelligence agency that checks the intelligence background of foreign individuals. We do not have forces abroad, nor do we have staff to check every person there," a ministry official explained. Responding to questions about pilots from "hostile countries" landing in Israel, the Civil Aviation Authority admitted it could not provide a definitive answer. While they "assume there were no such cases," they acknowledged, "There is no 100% security; only if we stopped air traffic would everything be completely safe."
