Mossad Reportedly Clears Replacement Crew for Flydubai Return Flight

Mossad reportedly completed checks of the replacement Flydubai aircraft's crew shortly before 17:00 on Wednesday, after the passengers' original flight diverted to Tabuk in Saudi Arabia. All the Israeli passengers then agreed to board the return flight, and a passenger said boarding had begun. Some had initially refused another Flydubai flight because they were frightened, and the crew review covered the flight attendants and pilots. Flydubai separately said it had deployed two replacement aircraft to Tabuk and that all passengers and crew were safe, while the incident's motives remained unknown and subject to formal investigation.
