Royal Air Maroc on Flydubai First Officer
Royal Air Maroc denied that the co-pilot accused of attempting to carry out a terrorist act aboard a Flydubai flight from the UAE to Israel had previously been an employee of theirs, confirming that he had not worked with them and that his application for employment in 2025 was not accepted. They also stated that he only received three months of theoretical training during the same year. Emirati authorities confirmed that the co-pilot began executing his plan during the flight, attacking the pilot in the cockpit with an emergency axe and attempting to seize control of the aircraft's controls, which led to an emergency landing at Tuba Airport in Saudi Arabia. The pilot and his co-pilot left Saudi Arabia for Abu Dhabi after their conditions improved, and investigations are still ongoing to uncover the circumstances and motives behind the incident.
