New reports reveal a scary plot involving a Flydubai pilot. According to Israeli officials and multiple news sources, the pilot had allegedly planned a terror attack on Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv.
Officials say the plan was similar to the September 11 attacks. The pilot reportedly wanted to fly a plane into the airport. The reports claim he had these plans before he was ever hired by Flydubai.
This news has raised big questions about how he was able to get into the cockpit in the first place. Many are now asking why security checks did not catch this man sooner.
Major news outlets like the Wall Street Journal have pointed to serious security failures. It appears that the pilot went through flight training in the United Kingdom before moving on to work for the airline.
Now, officials are looking closely at how he passed background checks. The investigation is ongoing, as people try to understand how a person with these alleged intentions could end up in control of a commercial airplane.
For now, the focus remains on the safety of the airline and how such a dangerous person could have slipped through the cracks.
