An investigation into the Flydubai pilot involved in an attempted attack is ongoing, with sources in the United Arab Emirates describing him as an introverted, unsociable, and devout Muslim. Information obtained by i24NEWS from Emirati sources indicates that the pilot was reserved and not particularly social. It remains unclear whether he specifically requested to be assigned to flights heading to Israel. Officials are cautioning against premature conclusions that Iran was behind the incident, stating it is too early to determine if the event was planned by an organization or a state. In parallel, the public prosecutor in the UAE has ordered the formation of a team to examine the incident and its circumstances. Additionally, a senior Emirati official met with the Sultan of Oman.
The central question in the investigation is whether the Omani pilot was placed on the airline with malicious intent.
