Following the attempted hijacking of a Flydubai flight, Israel is tightening reporting procedures for crew members on flights entering the country. The National Center for Passenger Diagnosis (NCPD) has issued new directives requiring airlines to submit crew details 48 hours before departure and update them again before the flight. The goal is to allow security agencies more time to review the information and identify risks. The directives focus solely on reporting aircrew and do not change passenger obligations.
