Mossad Clears Flydubai Crew, Approves Flight After Security Checks
Israel's Mossad intelligence agency has completed background checks on the crew of a Flydubai aircraft, clearing them to operate the flight. The checks were conducted following an incident that necessitated the intervention of the Mossad.
Concurrently, Saudi Arabia has reportedly refused permission for a chartered Israeli aircraft to transport passengers who are unwilling to board the Flydubai plane. This refusal complicates efforts to repatriate those passengers.
The situation arose after a flight was delayed, leading to a security concern that prompted the Mossad's involvement in vetting the flight crew. The agency's approval is a prerequisite for the flight's resumption.
