Oman Reportedly Bars Flydubai Co-Pilot From Flying Amid Dubai Evacuation Disruptions

Oman has reportedly barred a Flydubai co-pilot from flying, as an assault on a captain with the Emirati airline disrupts flights carrying stranded passengers to Israel.

Israel has resumed evacuation flights from Dubai. The resumption comes amid flight suspensions by Flydubai and cancellations by Israeli carrier El Al.

Flydubai suspended its services against the backdrop of the assault on its captain. El Al also cancelled flights intended to bring stranded passengers back to Israel.

Details of the reported Omani restriction, including its duration and the reason for the decision, were not provided. The information available also did not clarify the circumstances of the assault.
