Israel has extended its nationality restrictions for pilots and cabin crew of international airlines on overflights, not just on flights to Israel, covering crew members from 31 countries that have no diplomatic relations with Israel, such as Iran, Iraq, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia.
The restrictions also apply to persons with dual nationality, even if they also hold a passport of a country that has diplomatic relations with Israel, and the policy follows a thwarted attack attempt on a Flydubai flight to Tel Aviv on 30 September.
