Israel's Tax Authority announced new security directives on Thursday for airlines operating flights to the country, requiring them to submit crew data at least 48 hours before scheduled departure. These measures are a direct response to an incident involving a Flydubai flight and aim to enhance civil aviation security by allowing authorities more time to vet crew members. The new regulations, issued by the National Center for Passenger Diagnosis within the Tax Authority, mandate that airlines provide crew information no later than 48 hours prior to the planned takeoff. Airlines must also resubmit and update this data during check-in procedures, no more than two hours before departure, and report any changes. Additionally, carriers are obligated to submit a final, updated crew list at the actual time of takeoff to ensure accurate information is available to relevant bodies. This initiative is part of a broader Israeli effort to strengthen security oversight of civil aviation and revise information exchange protocols for flight crews traveling to and from Israel.
