The Flydubai cockpit attack has taken a dramatic new turn after a senior UAE presidential adviser described the incident as a “terrorist act”. Indian Captain Smit Machchhar has been praised for his courage during the mid-air crisis, while UAE authorities investigate the attack, its motive and any possible terrorist connection or prior planning. The Dubai-to-Tel Aviv flight was diverted to Saudi Arabia after the cockpit confrontation, with passengers and crew helping prevent a potential disaster.
