Kenyan Cabin Crew Honored for Bravery in Foiled Mid-Air Attack

Two Kenyan cabin crew members, David Kimotho and John Muchina, have been decorated with the United Arab Emirates' Order of Zayed II, First Class, for their bravery in containing a mid-air emergency.

The incident occurred on September 30 aboard a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, where an Omani co-pilot allegedly planned to seize the aircraft and crash it into the passenger terminal.

Kimotho and Muchina played a crucial role in assisting the injured captain and maintaining order among passengers after the plane was diverted to Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia.
