The Aporia · UAE had shared details about FlyDubai flight with Israel, including pilots' names and nationalities

UAE authorities provided Israel with passenger and crew details for a FlyDubai flight before it departed, including the names and nationalities of pilots involved in an incident where one pilot attempted to hijack the plane bound for Israel. This revelation has raised concerns about security lapses, especially given that the Omani co-pilot had been prohibited from flying by his own country due to extremist views. The article highlights questions over how an Omani citizen was permitted to fly a direct flight to Tel Aviv despite Oman’s lack of diplomatic ties with Israel.

Story summary

On September 30, 2026, a Flydubai flight (flight FZ1073) from Dubai to Tel Aviv signaled an emergency while over Jordanian airspace and was subsequently diverted to land in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The initial distress call raised concerns of potential hijacking, prompting Israel to scramble fighter jets as a precautionary measure. However, it later emerged that the emergency signal resulted from a physical altercation between the plane's two pilots rather than any form of unlawful interference. The flight, carrying around 150 people predominantly Israeli citizens, landed safely without further incident. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held consultations over the event as security officials confirmed the situation was under control and would become clearer upon landing in Saudi Arabia.
