Israel has implemented a directive that effectively bans Muslim crew members with dual nationality from flying into the country. Air France is enforcing this order, impacting pilots and cabin crew from 31 nationalities, including Pakistan, Algeria, Tunisia, and Iran. The restrictions target nationality rather than religion, excluding Muslim pilots from these countries from operating into Israel.
Air France has instructed affected employees to declare their second nationality or face disciplinary action. This move follows an alleged attempt by an Omani flydubai co-pilot to hijack a Dubai-Tel Aviv flight and crash it into Ben Gurion Airport on September 30. The incident has raised concerns about potential legal challenges in France if Air France fails to comply with the Israeli directive.
