An Ethiopian Airlines cargo aircraft was refused permission to land in Israel because one of its pilots held Indonesian citizenship. Although Israel has implemented updated security protocols following a previous incident involving a flydubai flight, reports indicate that the airline failed to submit the required crew manifest until after the plane had already departed from Addis Ababa. Consequently, the flight was barred from entering Israeli airspace due to the presence of the Indonesian national on board. This event highlights the strict enforcement of aviation security procedures and diplomatic sensitivities regarding crew documentation for flights arriving in Israel.
