Air France crew face Israel dual-nationality checks
Original: air france
Air France operations to Tel Aviv are drawing attention after Israel moved to bar foreign pilots and flight attendants holding dual nationality with one of 32 countries from crewing flights to or overflying Israel. Reports say Israeli carriers have begun background checks on crews of leased foreign aircraft, and United Airlines has told staff US citizenship alone is not sufficient to work Israel routes if they hold certain other passports. Foreign airlines, including Air France, are now navigating the new screening requirements.
Why now: Israel's new dual-nationality restrictions on airline crews are affecting major foreign carriers flying to Tel Aviv.
