A flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv on 15 October 2026 was involved in a security incident that led to the detention of two pilots, adding to two pilots already held, according to reports of the incident and subsequent arrests.
Passengers described the aircraft entering a steep dive that turned into a spin, with one passenger initially thinking it was a mechanical issue before realizing the plane was likely to crash, while a flight attendant attempted to move forward shouting for seat‑belt fastening before stopping, and a passenger’s spouse was the first to alert others and call for help.
