Cockpit Dispute Delays Israel-Saudi Flight
A security incident occurred during the flight of the airline "Fly Dubai" from Dubai to Ben Gurion Airport, after the aircraft sent a brief distress signal ("7700" and "7500") while descending and attempting to turn around. This led to its rerouting to Saudi Arabia and a reduction in altitude, with Israeli fighter jets being scrambled. It was later determined that the distress signals were caused by a fight onboard between the Russian pilot and his Ukrainian assistant, and both the airline and the Israeli government confirmed the incident. Subsequently, the plane landed at Taba Airport in Saudi Arabia. As a result, flights from Ben Gurion Airport were temporarily suspended before resuming normally, while Israel held urgent security meetings and placed the military on high alert.
