Flydubai Co-Pilot Planned to Crash Jet into Tel Aviv

In October 2026, an investigation found that a flydubai co-pilot acted alone when he tried to crash a passenger jet into a Tel Aviv skyscraper. According to reports, the Omani co-pilot planned to kill the pilot unnoticed and shut off both engines. Passengers stopped him before the plane went down. An initial Israeli investigation described him as a lone attacker.
