Investigators are examining what happened inside the cockpit of a flydubai flight that veered off course and diverted to Saudi Arabia following an alleged attack involving the co-pilot.
The investigation is expected to determine what triggered the incident, whether the co-pilot acted alone, what was used during the alleged attack and how any sharp object may have been brought onboard.
The incident occurred amid heightened tensions in West Asia and has drawn international attention. U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have raised questions about possible Iranian involvement, though the investigation has yet to establish any such connection.
Authorities are also expected to examine whether anyone assisted the co-pilot and how cockpit security procedures were handled during the incident.
