A number of sources revealed that Saudi Arabia has begun an investigation into the Dubai Airlines co-pilot murder incident that occurred last week to assess the possible impact of the incident on aviation safety. According to a report by Reuters quoting a source on the 7th, Saudi Arabia has notified foreign professional aviation agencies that they will conduct a safety investigation on Dubai Airlines flight FZ1073 in accordance with international rules. While the flight was en route from Dubai, UAE to Tel Aviv, Israel on September 30, the co-pilot attacked the captain in the cockpit, causing the passenger plane to suddenly plummet. After the rest of the crew and passengers subdued the attackers, the passenger plane regained control and landed safely at Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia. Another source said that it is currently unclear whether Saudi Arabia will disclose the investigation results.
