Ethiopian plane returns to Addis Ababa over pilot citizenship
An Ethiopian Airlines plane was turned back to Addis Ababa before resuming its flight to Tel Aviv because it had an Indonesian pilot onboard. Israeli authorities discovered his nationality during the flight and requested his replacement in accordance with security protocols that prohibit certain nationalities from traveling to Israel. Israel also informed the airline that the plane was not allowed to land on its territory, which led to the aircraft returning before reaching its destination. It was only allowed to continue its journey after the pilot was replaced, as part of heightened security measures related to the nationalities of airline crew members from countries that do not maintain diplomatic relations with Israel. This incident is connected to other security incidents, including a failed attempt to commandeer a Fly Dubai plane two weeks ago, aimed at threatening the safety of flights heading to Israel.
