Flydubai Boeing 737 MAX, med flygnummer FZ1073 och cirka 180 passagerare, inklusive 150 israelier, landade vid Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz International Airport i Tabuk, Saudiarabien. Planet hade färdats från Dubai till Tel Aviv och ändrade plötsligt kurs över Jordan mot Saudiarabien, med initialt ett nödsignal (7700) som senare byttes till 7500, vilket indikerar ett kapning eller olaglig inblandning.
