Flydubai to Fly Israelis Home After Forced Landing in Saudi Arabia
Flydubai is preparing to send a special flight to Riyadh to retrieve 180 Israeli passengers stranded in Saudi Arabia. Their flight was forced to land in the kingdom after an altercation between the pilots. The passengers were en route to Tel Aviv when the incident occurred.
Reports suggest the emergency landing was precipitated by a fight between the pilots. One of the pilots allegedly attempted to crash the plane, leading to suspicions of sabotage or a deliberate act. The Israeli Prime Minister's office has stated that the situation is under control.
Israeli authorities are investigating the incident, with some not ruling out the possibility of a terrorist act. The speed at which the aircraft was descending, nearly 31,000 feet per minute, raised concerns that one of the pilots may have been injured or incapacitated. The head of the Israeli military's General Staff has been briefed on the situation.
