This resolution honors Captain Smit Machchhar and recognizes the crew and passengers of Flydubai Flight 1073 for preventing a terrorist attack on their aircraft. On September 30, 2026, the first officer attacked Captain Machchhar on the flight deck with an emergency crash axe and attempted to take control of the plane, causing it to drop over 14,000 feet in less than 30 seconds. Despite serious injuries, Captain Machchhar fought off the attacker and unlocked the cockpit door, allowing off-duty pilots to land the aircraft safely at Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia with all 174 passengers and crew members intact, including 4 American citizens and 27 children. The resolution condemns the attack as an act of terrorism, expresses support for the injured crew members' recovery, and calls for full investigations by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates with the United States and Israel kept fully informed. This symbolic measure does not provide funding or establish a timeline but serves to officially recognize the heroic actions that prevented a potential tragedy.
