FlyDubai co-pilot planned to crash flight into Ben-Gurion Airport before hiring

A FlyDubai co-pilot, an Omani national, allegedly planned to crash a flight into Ben-Gurion Airport, having premeditated the attack before being hired. He aborted a similar attempt on an earlier Tel Aviv flight this year. The claim is based on Israeli authorities' knowledge of UAE investigators' findings; the co-pilot's motive and operational links remain unclear. This marks a significant insider threat to civil aviation in the region.
