Two flydubai pilots who prevented mass-casualty attack identified by local media

Local media in South Africa and Fiji have identified the two flydubai pilots credited with preventing a mass-casualty attack on their aircraft, though neither the airline nor official bodies have confirmed their identities. The South African pilot was identified as Rowan Tooth, originally from Kimberley, by acquaintances speaking to Cape Town Etc. The second pilot, Henson Steven, is from Fiji and previously flew for Fiji's national airline, a Fijian outlet reported. Both men received certificates of appreciation for their heroism five days before the identifications emerged.
