New details have emerged regarding the incident on board the Flydubai flight that sent a hijack signal.

New details have surfaced about the incident on the Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, which had previously sent a signal of a possible hijacking. According to Israeli media, the pilots are of Russian and Ukrainian origin, and Israeli security services are currently investigating the theory of an attempt to seize control of the aircraft and intentionally crash it.

Flydubai confirmed that a conflict had occurred between the pilots, but did not specify their origin or the circumstances of the incident.

New information began to emerge after the plane landed. Passengers on the flight report hearing screams and seeing blood near the cockpit during the conflict. According to them, one of the pilots attempted to stab the other. During the struggle, one of the pilots lost consciousness. Following this, several crew members and passengers managed to enter the cockpit and intervene.

After the intervention of passengers and crew members, control of the aircraft was restored. According to media reports, one of the pilots who was on board as a passenger took control and performed a landing at Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia.

Currently, the co-pilot is being interrogated, and investigators are determining the motives behind the incident. Israeli intelligence services are examining several theories of what happened. In particular, they are considering the assumption that one of the pilots may have attempted to seize control of the aircraft and intentionally nose-dive it. Some Israeli sources also report that a theory of a possible pre-planned terrorist attack is being investigated. This information has not yet received official confirmation.

According to a high-ranking Israeli official quoted by local journalists, a disaster was averted. According to his version, more and more signs indicate that the co-pilot intended to seize control of the aircraft and intentionally crash it along with the passengers.

The Flydubai aircraft, flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv, sent a signal of a possible hijacking and was diverted to Saudi Arabia. There were 180 people on board, about 100 of whom were Israelis. Amid the ongoing situation, Israel scrambled fighter jets.
