A source says the FlyDubai co-pilot accused of stabbing the captain during a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv was grounded by Oman Air in 2024 after the airline found he had visited radical Islamic websites. The aircraft nearly crashed before reserve pilots regained control and diverted it to Saudi Arabia. The UAE is investigating, while FlyDubai has suspended Dubai–Tel Aviv flights.
