Fz1073: Israeli Officials Claim Major Disaster Averted

According to unnamed Israeli officials speaking on September 30, a major disaster was narrowly avoided following an incident aboard a Flydubai flight traveling from Dubai to Tel Aviv. While social media videos depict passengers and an injured pilot after what some described as hijacking attempts by terrorists, these sources explicitly stated the event was not a hijack but rather a violent altercation between two pilots that caused the aircraft to divert to Saudi Arabia.
