NEW DELHI: Israel scrambled fighter jets after a Dubai-Tel Aviv-bound flydubai aircraft transmitted emergency signals amid an alleged attempt by its co-pilot to crash the plane, but the warplanes did not have to take action as passengers and crew managed to regain control and land safely in Saudi Arabia, Israeli envoy to India Reuven Azar said on Thursday.
Speaking to PTI Videos in New Delhi, Azar said Israel's civil aviation authorities, air force and political leadership were immediately alerted after the aircraft reported an emergency. He said the situation was assessed as a potential threat given Israel's small geographical size and the possibility of an aircraft reaching its territory within seconds.
