Story summary

On September 30, 2026, a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv signalled an emergency over Jordanian airspace, turning around shortly after and landing at Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia. The plane, carrying approximately 150 passengers mostly Israeli citizens, transmitted distress signals indicating possible unlawful interference but was later found safe with no hijacking involved. Instead, the situation stemmed from a physical altercation between the pilots. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held urgent consultations and the Israeli Air Force scrambled fighter jets in response to initial fears of a hijack attempt.
