A Flydubai flight traveling from Dubai to Tel Aviv with 174 passengers on board made an emergency landing at Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia after a serious incident occurred during the flight on **Wednesday, September 30**.
According to the information available, the co-pilot allegedly attempted to forcibly take control of the aircraft and reportedly stabbed the captain during the incident. Crew members and passengers are said to have intervened and regained control of the situation, allowing the aircraft to proceed with an emergency landing.
The flight, identified as FZ1073, had departed from Dubai and was bound for Tel Aviv. Following the incident, the crew diverted the aircraft to Tabuk Airport, where the emergency landing was carried out.
