A flydubai pilot suspected of trying to crash a passenger plane on Wednesday is under arrest in Saudi Arabia, while the passengers who had been aboard the flight, with some being credited for stopping the attack, have been safely returned to Israel on Wednesday, national officials said.

A rescue flight carrying passengers from flydubai Flight FZ1073 landed at Ben-Gurion Airport after departing from Saudi Arabia's Tabuk Airport, reports
The Jerusalem Press.

The Saudi airport said all passengers from the original flight had boarded the rescue plane.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was at the airport to welcome the passengers. Teams from Magen David Adom, Israel's national emergency medical service, and airport medical staff were on hand to provide care.

The original flight was traveling from Dubai to Tel Aviv with 174 people aboard, including 166 Israelis, when the plane's co-pilot, reportedly from Oman, stabbed its pilot in what Israeli officials are calling a thwarted terror attack.

The attack occurred about 2 1/2 hours into the flight, which left Dubai shortly before 7 a.m. local time. FlightAware data showed the plane descended from 33,000 feet to 15,400 feet in less than two minutes.

Two off-duty pilots on the plane, having been placed onboard because of the potential of regional rerouting, which would have pushed the original crew beyond their permitted duty hours, a source familiar with the situation told The Post.

Officials said their presence was not related to any advance security warning.

Some passengers initially refused to board a flydubai rescue flight after landing in Saudi Arabia, telling The Jerusalem Post they wanted an Israeli aircraft.

Meanwhile,
Saudi Arabia turned down a request ‌by Israel to allow its military planes to bring back the passengers, as the Saudis have no diplomatic relations with Israel.
