An Ethiopian Airlines cargo plane en route from Addis Ababa was forced to turn back mid-flight on Sunday night after Israel denied it permission to land. The refusal was reportedly due to an Indonesian national being part of the flight crew. Israel does not maintain diplomatic relations with Indonesia.
According to Channel 13, the crew manifest was submitted to Israeli authorities only after the aircraft had already departed. This incident follows a separate event involving flydubai, where a pilot allegedly attacked a co-pilot. These occurrences have heightened concerns regarding aviation security and the vetting of flight crews from countries considered hostile to Israel.
The situation has prompted scrutiny of the procedures for checking foreign airline crews and the timely submission of crew data to Israeli security services.
