A new poll by Channel 14, published this evening (Thursday) in the news edition following the attempted attack on Flydubai flight FZ1073, reveals a significant divide in Israelis' flying habits. According to the poll, 45% of respondents state they will continue to fly with foreign airlines as usual despite the incident. In contrast, 32% announced they will stop flying with international airlines, and another 23% have not yet formed an opinion. The poll was conducted against the backdrop of serious concern among passengers about the level of security on foreign flights, background checks on non-Israeli crews, and the absence of armed security guards. The data is particularly worrying for international airlines that have been working to restore their operations in Israel. The main incident: an Omani co-pilot attempted to crash with dozens of Israeli passengers on board.
