在FZ1073航班上被刺的flydubai机长，印度籍的Smit Machchhar船长，据乘客Yaniv Hayoun称，在失去意识之前，他解锁了驾驶舱门。Hayoun在周三与本·古里安机场的以色列总理本杰明·内塔尼亚胡交谈时透露了此事。
The flydubai pilot who was stabbed on flight FZ1073, Indian national Capt. Smit Machchhar, reportedly unlocked the cockpit door before losing consciousness, passenger Yaniv Hayoun told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when the two spoke at Ben-Gurion Airport on Wednesday.
Hayoun告诉内塔尼亚胡，驾驶舱门是解锁的，但Machchhar离门足够近，以至于很难打开。'我的结论是，他机智地在倒下之前为我们打开了门，'他解释道。
Hayoun told Netanyahu that the cockpit door was unlocked, but Machchhar was close enough to the door that it was difficult to open. "My conclusion is that he resourcefully managed to open the door for us before he collapsed," he explained.
内塔尼亚胡随后在推特/ X 上发表声明，赞扬Machchhar的英雄主义。向印度机长Smit Machchhar致敬，感谢他非凡的勇气。
Netanyahu later expanded on this in a Twitter/X statement praising Machchhar's heroism. My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.

包括以色列牙医Shota Musayev在内的几名乘客为Machchhar提供了急救，使他在飞机在塔布克机场紧急降落后被送往沙特阿拉伯住院之前保持了生命。
Several passengers, including Israeli dentist Shota Musayev, administered first-aid care to Machchhar, keeping him alive until he was hospitalized in Saudi Arabia after the plane made an emergency landing at Tabuk Airport.
Musayev告诉Walla，Machchhar受了重伤，头部和手部大量出血。牙医能够止血，并告诉Walla，他的状况在那之后稳定下来，但在飞机降落时又再次恶化。
Musayev told Walla that Machchhar was badly wounded, bleeding heavily from his head and hands. The dentist was able to stop the bleeding and told Walla that his condition did stabilize after that, but deteriorated once again as the plane was landing.
Musayev还表示，Machchhar能够口头沟通，说明另一名机长刺了他。
Musayev also said that Machchhar was able to verbally communicate that the other pilot stabbed him.
