No official details have so far been released by the UAE authorities regarding the allegations against the detained pilots or the status of the investigation into their possible involvement.

Regional officials said Emirati authorities had shared with Israel a list of passengers and crew ahead of the flydubai flight on which an Omani co-pilot attempted a foiled crash bid.

Two pilots travelling as passengers rushed into the cockpit after the captain was attacked, helping stabilise the flydubai aircraft carrying 182 people.

Hamdan bin Mohammed visited injured flydubai captain in hospital and praised his courage in averting a possible tragedy.

The UAE prosecutor general said that that co-pilot attacked the pilot inside the cockpit with a crash axe and attempted to take control of the aircraft as part of the foiled crash bid.

Hamam Alhamami reportedly spent most of his time in Syria, where he was influenced by extremist ideas and later indoctrinated into al-Qaeda ideology.

The UAE's formal probe will examine whether the incident involved terrorist activity or purpose and whether there was any prior planning or direction.

PM Modi spoke to Captain Smit Machchhar and praised his courage after he was injured while thwarting the flydubai cockpit attack.

The co-pilot is accused of stabbing Captain Smit Machchhar during a Dubai-Tel Aviv flight that was forced to divert to Saudi Arabia.

Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said he will seek the extradition of the Omani co-pilot who is accused of attempting to crash the aircraft.

Netanyahu said the co-pilot had undergone Islamist radical indoctrination but gave no details as UAE and Saudi authorities investigate.

Flight FZ1073, operated by a Boeing 737 MAX 8, was travelling from Dubai International Airport to Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv when it changed course over Saudi Arabia.
