National Insurance to Cover Benefits After Dubai Flight Incident

Passengers aboard a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Israel who experienced a security incident may be eligible for lifelong disability benefits from the National Insurance Institute, according to attorney Haim Frank. The incident, which occurred Wednesday, involved a co-pilot allegedly attempting to harm the pilot and crash the plane with 180 passengers. Fortunately, the flight landed safely without significant physical injuries to those on board.

Frank, an expert in work accidents and personal injury claims, stated that if the event is recognized as an act of terror with a nationalistic motive, passengers who suffered physical or emotional harm could be recognized as victims of hostile acts. This recognition would entitle them to lifelong disability benefits from the National Insurance Institute.

In addition to potential National Insurance claims, Frank advised exploring the liability of Flydubai. Passengers may be able to file a civil lawsuit against the airline for damages incurred due to the security event during the international flight. He emphasized that even without physical injuries, passengers could still be recognized as victims of hostile acts if they can prove psychological distress resulting from the incident.
