The co-pilot of a flydubai jet attempted to crash the aircraft into Tel Aviv’s international airport, according to the United Arab Emirates’ top prosecutor. The incident, which occurred last week, involved a struggle with the captain resulting in a sudden loss of altitude. The aircraft was ultimately forced to make an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. Most of the passengers on board were Israeli citizens, and they described the chaotic events during the flight. Passengers were later returned home via another flydubai flight. Authorities are investigating the co-pilot’s motives, revealing a premeditated plan to carry out a suicide attack.
