Flight to Tel Aviv diverts to Saudi Arabia after reported feud between pilots
The flight briefly raised concerns of a possible hijacking, prompting Israeli Air Force jets to scramble.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on the flight diverting to Saudi Arabia and on some kind of incident involving the pilots. Sky News uses the airline’s language, saying the flight landed safely after a “brawl between pilots,” while CBS News says it briefly raised concerns of a possible hijacking and adds that Israeli Air Force jets scrambled; that scrambling detail appears only in CBS’s extract.
