There was panic in the skies of the Middle East when a violent and bloody conflict broke out between two pilots inside the cockpit during a passenger flight of ‘Flydubai’ going from Dubai to Tel Aviv, Israel. During the flight, a pilot fatally attacked his co-pilot with a knife and made a despicable attempt to deliberately crash the plane in the air. After this serious and sensational incident came to light, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich have taken a very aggressive stance and issued a strong warning to the criminals and the organizations behind them.
The Israeli leadership has said in clear words that no matter which country or any terrorist organization, anyone who conspires to hijack the plane and kill the 180 Israeli citizens on board will not be spared and he and his patrons will be given very strict punishment.
According to the information received, when flydubai flight number FZ1073 was passing over the airspace of Jordan and Saudi Arabia, after a heated argument between the two pilots, emergency signal (Squawk 7700) and illegal interference i.e. hijacking signal (Squawk 7500) were issued from the aircraft. According to flight tracking data, within a few moments the altitude of the plane dropped rapidly from 34,000 feet to about 16,600 feet.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, a safe emergency landing of the plane was made at Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Airport in Saudi Arabia. All 180 passengers on board the plane are completely safe, but this incident has raised serious questions on international aviation safety. Saudi security officials immediately arrested the attacking pilot and he is being thoroughly interrogated.
During this terrible crisis, the bravery of the passengers and crew members present inside the plane averted a major plane crash. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued an official statement saying that the situation is completely under control and all efforts are being made to bring back the citizens safely.
Describing the incident, Netanyahu said, “An Israeli passenger told me that the plane suddenly began to dive rapidly. After this, the passenger and the crew members, with great presence of mind, opened the cockpit door and caught hold of the pilot who was disrupting the plane’s systems. I wholeheartedly salute all these heroes who risked their lives to save countless lives and prevented a terrible disaster.” The Israeli government has issued instructions to security agencies to remain fully alert to deal with possible future threats.
