All passengers were safe and accounted for, the spokesperson said, without providing any further details.
Yasmin Abu Kasis, whose daughter Miriam was on the flight, said that her daughter had told her that she had heard screaming and that a man took a knife, put the pilot on the floor, and that there was blood everywhere.

More testimonies from passengers onboard the Flydubai flight:
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/433887
Yitzhak Lieber, another passenger who was on the Flydubai flight, described how several Israeli passengers intervened after the stabbing in the cockpit and managed to remove the attacker.
“We are on the flight from Dubai. We took control here of the attacker with a knife who stabbed one of the pilots. We simply jumped in and a few of us pulled them out of the cockpit. Everything is fine now. We are probably landing in Saudi Arabia. You can see that I am okay.”
According to Lieber, after the attacker was subdued, the passengers prepared for landing: “We will see what happens now. In just a few minutes we are landing. The terrorist has been neutralized.”
“There is a pilot here who is seriously wounded. Apparently there is another pilot inside who is wounded, but he is managing to land the plane. There are two crew members from the aircraft.”
He added that after taking control of the situation, the passengers made sure to separate the cockpit from the rest of the aircraft, stressing, “We made sure they closed the door.”
Tzvika Manes, CEO of Bank Leumi’s Barak Leumi underwriting company, was among the passengers who entered the cockpit and overpowered the attacker, Calcalist reported. Manes confirmed the details and said that after screams were heard from the cockpit, he and two other passengers entered and neutralized the attacker.
According to Manes, the passengers were alerted by a relief pilot from Fiji after his wife heard the screams and drew his attention to what was happening. Manes said the pilot who was stabbed is from India, while the attacker is a pilot from Oman. “I am covered in blood. It was insane,” he said.
It wasn’t a brawl. It was foiled terrorist attempt. The copilot stabbed the pilot in an attempt to take control of the plane. He was overcome and restrained by some of the passengers. It was a close call for what could have been a horrible tragedy.
The great New York Post is one of the few outlets with the real story.
Like in United Airlines Flight 93 the passengers in this case (mostly Israeli) are not going to take a hijacking literally, sitting down. The Israelis don’t take no sh*t. Too bad they did not kill the SOB who tried to do another 9/11 over the skies of Tel Aviv.
Muslims, once barbarians, always barbarians.
“Israel-bound flight diverted to Saudi Arabia after brawl between pilots, Israeli official says”. Coffee, tea, or me with a knife?
That brings to mind Egyptair Flight 990, which was flown into the Atlantic Ocean in 1999 by a suicidal pilot. And a few years ago, another suicidal pilot flew his plane into a mountain in the French Alps.
It’s confirmed the pilot stabbed the co pilot and attempted to take CJ trol of the plane, either to take a plane load of hostages somewhere or, more likely, crash j to a building in Tel Aviv.
Passengers subdued the pilot and assisted the injured copilot in a hard landing in Saudi.
Muslims cannot be trusted.
Correction: it’s not clear who stabbed who. One of the crew was a hijacker.
If true what kind of idiot would pair them.
Israeli passengers rushed the copilot
Israeli pilot landed the plane
Miracle
Lot’s of “fog of war” reporting here...
As Pre_ent Obama claimed about U.S. Army Major Nidal Hasan murdering 13 people at Fort Hood - it was "workplace violence".
I do not fly muslim airlines. I do not fly to or through muslim countries.
Sometimes it costs more. I’m going to Nepal on Saturday, and it cost me about $500 more to avoid Dubai. Had to fly Cathay Pacific, sadly, but they won’t just kill me just because I’m a Jew.
Can we nominate FReeper Allahu Akhbar Chorus members for the next Aloha Snack Bar flight?
Have a good safe flight.
