Authorities in the United Arab Emirates provided Israel with a list of passengers and crew members for a Flydubai flight prior to takeoff, according to an AP report. The flight was the one on which a pilot allegedly attempted to crash the plane. The advance sharing of the list, which included pilots' names and nationalities, raises significant questions about how the alleged attacker evaded detection. As the investigation continues, further details are emerging about serious security lapses.
The report indicates that the co-pilot, an Omani national, had previously raised concerns in his home country due to his extremist views. Criticism is also ongoing regarding the fact that an Omani citizen, from a country without official diplomatic ties to Israel, was permitted to pilot a plane full of Israeli passengers en route to Tel Aviv without appropriate alerts being triggered.
