New details have emerged regarding the investigation into a Flydubai pilot suspected of planning to crash a plane. According to a report by i24NEWS, two Maldivian co-pilots arrested in connection with the case are suspected of coordinating their flight assignments to Israel with the main suspect, Al-Mahmi. Investigators are also examining whether Al-Mahmi assisted the two pilots in securing their employment with the airline, based on information from the Maldives' embassy in the UAE. It remains unclear if the two co-pilots were aware of Al-Mahmi's alleged crash plot and, if so, the extent of their involvement. These questions are central to the ongoing investigation. The report indicates that Flydubai employs six pilots from the Maldives, with the two arrested individuals being the most recent hires. Both co-pilots reportedly lived in the same building as Al-Mahmi. They have been detained for 12 days and are currently denied access to their lawyers and families, with limited contact also permitted for Maldivian embassy representatives. Al-Mahmi himself claims to have acted alone, but investigators are continuing to explore the possibility of additional accomplices.
