Aviation Security

El Al has cancelled its planned October launch of direct flights to Hanoi, citing a lack of security clearance. The airline stated that the Shin Bet could not approve the route for operation using Israeli aircraft and crews.

It has come to the attention of N12 that El Al is forced to cancel the launch of its direct route to Hanoi, Vietnam. Israeli security officials stated that they could not grant the necessary permits to operate the route. This is not related to a specific security incident or a travel warning, but rather to the approval of Israeli security procedures at the airport.
