Israel’s Ministry of Transport received multiple warnings in 2024 and 2025 regarding shortcomings in the supervision of foreign pilots operating flights into the country. These alerts highlighted deficiencies in the vetting process for pilots flying to Israel. The information surfaced following last week’s attempted attack on a Flydubai flight, as reported by EFE. The Israeli army radio station initially released the details of these prior warnings. Details regarding the nature of these deficiencies have not been fully disclosed. This raises questions about security protocols surrounding international flights landing in Israel. The incident is prompting scrutiny of existing oversight measures for foreign pilots.
