Flydubai has suspended its flights to the United Arab Emirates for six days, starting Thursday morning, following an alleged attempted terror attack. The airline's co-pilot, an Omani national, is suspected of attempting the attack. During the suspension, secure Israeli flights will operate to the Emirates in place of Flydubai services until the investigation concludes. This decision was coordinated with UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed.
The suspect, the co-pilot on a Flydubai flight, is currently being investigated in Saudi Arabia to determine his motives. Authorities are exploring whether he acted alone or was directed by a hostile state or terrorist organization. Israeli officials are awaiting updates from the investigation.
Israeli political sources suggest the perpetrator aimed to destabilize the Abraham Accords by targeting an Emirati airline. In response, Israel has heightened security globally, concerned about potential copycat attacks. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has discussed flight path security between the two nations with UAE President bin Zayed.
