Air France has asked its cabin crew members belonging to 31 nationalities to voluntarily withdraw from flights to Israel, reported RFI on Thursday, October 11.
This measure follows a directive from Israeli authorities imposed after the attempted attack by the co-pilot of a Flydubai flight on September 30. The targeted nationalities are those from countries that do not maintain diplomatic relations with Israel, including individuals holding dual nationality.
Air France is implementing this directive by requesting the concerned personnel to self-exclude from flights to Israel.
