The flight was forced to return to Addis Ababa.
According to reports, the crew manifest was only received by the system after the plane had already taken off. Upon review, the presence of the Indonesian crew member was identified. Israel does not maintain diplomatic relations with Indonesia, leading to the decision to refuse entry.
The system reportedly flagged the unusual presence of the crew member, but this alert apparently came too late to prevent the flight from continuing its journey towards Israel. The aircraft subsequently turned back and returned to its origin city.
