Israel to Question flydubai Co-Pilot Over Alleged Crash Attempt

In October 2026, Israeli officials are expected to question the Omani co-pilot of a flydubai flight who is accused of attempting to crash the aircraft. The questioning is part of a probe led by the United Arab Emirates, and Israel is also seeking the co-pilot's extradition. The case has raised questions about Israeli aviation security, with a report alleging a major lapse. Separately, Israel is investigating how dozens of Omani pilots were able to fly into the country.
