Flydubai Flight Scare: Pilot Stabbed, Hijack Alert And Sudden Descent Spark Probe

A Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv turned into a major mid-air security scare after an alleged violent confrontation between the pilots. Flight FZ1073 transmitted a hijack-related alert near the Saudi-Jordan border after reportedly making a sharp descent of nearly 14,000 feet. The aircraft then diverted over Jordanian airspace and landed safely at Tabuk airport in Saudi Arabia. Both pilots were hospitalised following the incident. Reports say one pilot was allegedly stabbed by the other inside the cockpit. Israeli authorities are investigating the incident, with officials examining whether it was a cockpit confrontation, attempted hijacking or possible terror-related act.
