Fly Dubai security review amid Iran, Syria, Iraq pilot landings
A report reveals that Israel has opened investigations into the landing of pilots from Iran, Syria, and Iraq at Ben Gurion Airport in recent years. This came after an attempt to assist an Omani pilot in gaining control of a Fly Dubai aircraft bound for Tel Aviv. Israel is examining the backgrounds of these pilots, especially those holding passports from countries it considers enemies, and is exploring potential external links or assistance. They are also looking into gaps in security screening procedures for foreign crews. The article mentions Israel's involvement in the Emirati investigations, and the Emirati authorities' accusation that the co-pilot tried to carry out a terrorist act aboard the plane after assaulting the captain and attempting to take control of the aircraft's controls. It points to vulnerabilities in the background check system for pilots, with parliamentary calls to strengthen oversight and conduct expanded investigations to determine whether similar cases exist that could threaten security.
