Investigators are examining a potential security failure related to a Flydubai flight, with a contractor providing services to the Ministry of Transportation summoned for questioning. The investigation, led by Lahav 433, is exploring whether the external contractor, suspected in the case, also provided services to other airlines and if deficiencies occurred in the flight's security checks.
The summoned individual is not a direct employee of the Ministry of Transportation but an external service provider in a relevant field. Investigators aim to determine the contractor's potential involvement with other airlines and ascertain if there was a lapse in the security protocols for the Flydubai flight, specifically concerning the execution or non-execution of security screenings by the responsible party.
To this end, investigators are reviewing the Ministry of Transportation's existing procedures, the division of responsibilities among different entities, and the regulations governing security checks and the approval of foreign airlines. The contractor's testimony is intended to provide investigators with professional insight into the operational system, the relationship with the external supplier, and the procedures for conducting security checks.
It was emphasized that the Ministry of Transportation contractor was called in for an open testimony, not an investigation under caution, and at this stage, no offense is suspected of being committed by this individual in connection with the case.
