This document discusses enhancing perimeter security for aircraft entering Israeli airspace. It outlines the security threats posed by commercial or general aviation aircraft being used as weapons. It then describes Israel's security measures, including conducting vulnerability assessments of incoming carriers, security clearance procedures, and positive identification of approaching aircraft and pilots. The Central Aviation Security Operation Center processes security applications and monitors inbound flights. Specific procedures are outlined for general aviation flights to obtain arrival permits and correctly identify themselves upon entering Israeli airspace. The security measures aim to enable early detection of hijacked or suspicious aircraft.
