ABU DHABI 24 May 2018: The UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) denied last night the news of an attempt to hijack a plane belonging to Flydubai over Iranian airspace.
Saif Al Suwaidi, Director General of the GCAA, emphasised that flight No. FZ301, which was heading from Dubai to Kabul, has returned to Dubai and all the passengers resumed their flight that left Dubai International Airport at 08:31 am.
”The accidental incident happened as a result of a behaviour of one of the passengers who was detained by the competent authorities upon the arrival of the plane to the airport,” he explained.
Apparently, the flight returned to Dubai because of a “disruptive” passenger.
GCAA or Flydubai did not clarify what the passenger had done.
