AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoAviation & Emergency Response: A Flydubai FZ1073 flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv carrying 174 people was forced to land in Saudi Arabia after the co-pilot allegedly stabbed the captain and attempted to crash the aircraft, triggering emergency codes 7700 and 7500 and a rapid plunge; the wounded captain, identified as Indian pilot Smit Machchhar, managed to open the cockpit door so passengers and crew could subdue the attacker, with a dentist and off-duty pilots among those who helped stabilize the situation.
