UAE Suspends All Iranian Airline Flights Following US Aviation Sanctions
Investigations into an incident aboard a Flydubai flight bound for Tel Aviv concluded that the co-pilot attempted to carry out a terrorist act, according to UAE Attorney-General Hamad Saif Al Shamsi. The co-pilot attacked the captain with a crash axe inside the cockpit before crew members intervened. The aircraft diverted safely to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, and Flydubai has suspended flights to and from Israel.
