flydubai flight diverts to Saudi Arabia after reported pilot fight
Original: flydubai
A flydubai flight bound for Israel diverted to Saudi Arabia after what was described as a fight between the two pilots, according to the BBC. The aircraft landed safely in the kingdom, which until recently had no direct aviation links with Israel, and passengers were later flown on to their destination. The incident, trending in several countries, has prompted questions about the circumstances that led to the mid-flight dispute and how the crew situation was handled.
Why now: News of a physical altercation between pilots forcing a flight diversion is unusual and touched on sensitively as it involved an Israel-bound plane landing in Saudi Arabia.
