A mid-flight incident involving a flydubai aircraft has resulted in serious injuries to the flight's captain. According to reports, the captain, an Indian national, suffered wounds to his limbs, chest, and abdomen during a confrontation with his co-pilot, who is an Omani national.

Reports indicate that the altercation began when the co-pilot allegedly attempted to sabotage the aircraft. The captain intervened to stop the co-pilot's actions, leading to a physical struggle in which the captain was stabbed. The flight, which was carrying more than 170 passengers—including 24 children—remained the focus of the report, though specific details regarding the current status of the flight or the passengers' safety following the incident were not provided in the initial accounts.

There is currently no information regarding the motive behind the alleged sabotage or the specific legal status of the co-pilot following the event. The incident has raised questions regarding cockpit security and the psychological screening of flight crews, though official statements from the airline have yet to clarify the full sequence of events.
