Civil Aviation Authority Instructs El Al to
Ground Senior Pilots
Israel's Civil Air Authority (CAA) has instructed
El Al Airlines to ground its senior pilots, those over 65. This will impact
dozens of the airline's most seasoned pilots. The new regulation took effect
last week.
The Lod District Court on Sunday 23 Marcheshvan
ruled that pilots over 65 may continue flying until they reach 67 providing they
can pass the physical and professional fitness level required for the position
and administered by the CAA. Hence, at least for the time being, El Al's senior
pilots who are 65-67 may continue flying providing they are certified by the
civilian authority.
El Al pilots' union chairman Nir Tzuk reports 23
pilots are currently grounded as a result of the decision.
