Passengers Foil Attack on Dubai-Tel Aviv Flydubai Flight

In September 2026, a flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv was the scene of an attack in which a co-pilot stabbed the pilot, according to Israel. Passengers intervened and stopped an attempt to crash the aircraft, and the plane made what was described as a miracle landing. The UAE's civil aviation authority is investigating the security incident. A second flydubai flight to Israel reportedly turned around.
