BOLDUAN: Welcome back to NEW DAY, everyone. I'm joining you once again from Kuala Lumpur. We are following the latest developments in the search for Flight 370. A report from the "New York Times" this morning says the plane's change of course was pre-programmed into the flight computer. The plane's disappearance no doubt has much of the world concerned about the possibility of a hijacking. It has Israelis particularly on edge. They fear the missing jetliner could be used as a weapon against them. Israel is under a heightened state of alert right now taking extreme measures to keep its air space safe. Nic Robertson is in Jerusalem with the story.</s>NIC ROBERTSON, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Kate, as a direct result of the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines MH 370, Israel has put its air traffic controllers on a higher state of alert the international airport, the center of air traffic control, they are effectively the country's first line of defense against a rogue civilian passenger jet. We understand they're going to implement their procedures more closely, more rigorously. They are saying that the procedures are not hanging. They're going to look at detail and follow more closely. We're told this is an effort to identify aircraft when they are further away from Israel than has currently been the practice. What we understand is that aviation experts here have been meeting over a period of several days, come up with a set of proposals and procedures to tighten the situation. These won't be made public for security reasons. This is in direct response to the disappearance of MH 370. Back to you, Kate.</s>BOLDUAN: Nic Robertson, thank you so much. I'm sure many nations are doing the same thing, taking a closer look at policies and procedures. We're going to take another break. Coming up next on NEW DAY. More on the search for Flight 370. New information that the plane's trajectory may have been changed by someone in the cockpit. We're going to dig into this and tell you what it means coming from this "New York Times" report.
