Pilot stabbing on Flydubai Dubai-Tel Aviv flight forces emergency descent

A Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv experienced a near-catastrophe when one pilot stabbed another, forcing an emergency descent from 18,000 feet in 90 seconds. The incident, reported by the Financial Times, is unprecedented in commercial aviation and raises immediate questions about cockpit security and crew vetting. The motive remains unclear, and the event may signal a new insider-threat vector in aviation security.
