Flydubai airline announced on Friday that a comprehensive official investigation is underway into a "safety-related incident" that occurred in the cockpit of an aircraft en route from Dubai to Tel Aviv, before its course was diverted to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.
The company did not provide further details in its statement about the specific nature of the incident, describing it only as safety-related within the cockpit. It remains unclear whether the flight later completed its original destination.
The incident sparked speculation and scattered reports across media outlets and social media platforms about its circumstances, without the company or relevant official bodies confirming those speculations. Flydubai says it will update the public as soon as the investigation results become available.
