Why It Matters
A Flydubai plane made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia following a fight between pilots during a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv.
TEHRAN, Oct 4 - RIA Novosti. The Flydubai flight incident was "clumsily planned" to blame Iran or other countries in the region, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei said.
“Solely on the basis of statements that cannot be verified, Iran is accused of planning operations about which there are even doubts about whether they even took place. Like, for example, Fairford Air Force Base - the base that the US used to carry out attacks on Iran. Or the Flydubai flight - I think even preschoolers understood how clumsily it was planned to instill insecurity and blame Iran or other players,” Baghai responded to a journalist’s question about the inspection of nuclear facilities.
On Wednesday, a Flydubai plane flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv signaled an emergency and a short time later made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. The airline later confirmed that a fight broke out between the pilots during the flight.
Later, information appeared in the media that one of the pilots injured the second and wanted to cause a plane crash. This information was confirmed to RIA Novosti by passengers on that flight.
