Giovanni Bisignani, director general and CEO of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), criticized Israel’s flight safety and called Israeli flight industry to uphold international standards.
During his first visit to Israel, Bisignani said that it is disgraceful that the Israeli flight security has slid down to a level that may harm both Israeli airlines and the State’s reputation.

well better to ask one question too many than to turn away and assume innocent until proven guilty! kudos to the Israeli security, even though we don’t like to be questioned about every detail…unfortunately its necessary. Mr. Bisignani should compliment not insult them.
Huh? What’s this guy been smokin’?
Israeli flight security is the best in the world.
Maybe he can explain what in the world he’s talking about.
Mr. Bisignani wasn’t talking about the security of the airline. He was talking about she safety of the flight policy and the handeling of the air craft. Still I think it was an anti-simetic remark.
Simple. He’s probably an Arab, like everyone else in the security industry of late, so he was subject to treatment that he wasn’t happy with. Well, he is a political terrorist.
How about some substance to his statements. He’s just mouthing off.
Haha, I love it. Someone criticizes Jews/Israel, and in 6 comments he has been called an anti-Semite, and arab, and a terrorist.
Get a grip, people.
Wrong Yom Tov!
Thank you for this Purim (“VeNahapoch Hu”) article. But we are now in Kislev, the month of Chanukah, not Purim.
In the spirit of “VeNahapoch Hu”:
The man’s name — Bisignani — spelled backwards is “Inan Gisib”, which sounds like “inane gossip”.
He seems to be referring to all those BORUCH HASHEM near misses in and around TLV . It is far too often that we hear about an almost catastrophe.
HASHEM YERACHAYM!!
The article is very confused. According to an article in the Jerusalem Post, he criticized Israel for “failing to upgrade its US Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) International Aviation Safety Assessment ranking from Category 2 to Category 1. ‘Israel has been in Category 2 for far too long. It is a national embarrassment. Moreover, it is a costly situation for Israel’s reputation and for the financial health of its carriers,’ said Bisignani.
In December 2008, the FAA changed Israel’s aviation safety standard rating to Category 2 following an assessment of the country’s Civil Aviation Authority and in particular for its regulation of light, private and sports aviation. With a Category 2 rating, Israeli air carriers are not allowed to establish new service to the United States.”
