An Indian captain prevented a potential disaster aboard a Flydubai aircraft when he overpowered an attacking co-pilot and opened the cockpit door to allow passengers to assist in subduing the assailant. Captain Smit Machchhar, who suffered injuries during the assault, managed to regain control and enable passengers to neutralize the threat 345. The Boeing 737, carrying 182 people on a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, was forced to make an emergency landing in Tabuk, northwest Saudi Arabia, with all passengers and crew surviving 45.
The co-pilot, identified as an Omani national, attacked the captain during the flight in an attempt to crash the aircraft 24. A preliminary Saudi investigation indicated the co-pilot had been subjected to radical Islamist indoctrination 2. The aircraft descended approximately 17,000 feet in two minutes before being successfully recovered 12. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that the attacker was arrested and is being interrogated in Saudi Arabia 4.
Captain Machchhar, a Mumbai-based pilot with approximately 9,750 flight hours and 11 years of experience with SpiceJet before joining Flydubai, recounted the harrowing incident in an emotional account. During a video call with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday from his hospital bed, Machchhar stated: "I was fighting for my life. At one point, I realised that if I didn't get up … then passengers would lose their lives" 4. He also remarked, "Lord Hanuman gave me courage" 4. Modi praised his "courage, patience and quick decision-making," saying these qualities saved many lives 3. Netanyahu described Machchhar as "a true hero" 3. The Indian ambassador to the UAE, Deepak Mittal, reported that Machchhar is "in good health and making good progress in his recovery" 3.
