Passengers of a Flydubai flight that departed from Dubai to Tel Aviv on September 29 have chosen the law firm Naschitz Brandes Amir to represent them in massive lawsuits against the airline, the Ministry of Transportation, and other parties. The selection was made after meetings with additional law firms, including Herzog and Goldfarb. The passengers appointed a management team to handle proceedings with authorities, headed by Zvika Mans, CEO of the underwriting company Barak Leumi. The lawsuits are expected to amount to hundreds of millions of dollars. The flight departed on September 29, during which passenger Tali Mans heard screams from the cockpit, and Israeli passengers discovered that the co-pilot was stabbing the pilot. Passenger Yaniv Hayon stabilized the flight, while others, including Mans, tied up the terrorist pilot, treated the pilot, and activated another passenger who was a pilot to land the plane in Saudi Arabia.
