Israel's defence minister calls it a 'jihadist terror attack'; flydubai calls it an 'altercation' and says motives are unknown

A flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv landed in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, on 30 September after a fight in the cockpit. The reports agree that a pilot was stabbed. They do not agree on what the event was, which pilot attacked which, or how many people were aboard.

Levant & Iran Israel United Arab Emirates Saudi Arabia

What is agreed. Flight FZ1073, Dubai to Tel Aviv, turned off course and landed in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. flydubai said so in statements carried by Asharq Al-Awsat and LBCI. Passengers told Haaretz and The Jerusalem Post that Israeli passengers helped overpower one of the two men at the controls.

What it is called.

Who Their word
Defence minister Israel Katz, via Haaretz, Ynet and LBCI an attempted "jihadist terror attack"
flydubai, via LBCI "مشادة" (an altercation); "too early" to know the motives
Netanyahu's office, via Reuters in Asharq Al-Awsat denied the plane was hijacked
Netanyahu, via LBCI one pilot stabbed the other, then "apparently" tried to bring the plane down
Shargh accounts range from hijacking to a pilot's suicide; none officially confirmed

Who attacked whom. The Jerusalem Post and Netanyahu say the pilot stabbed his co-pilot. AFP, via LBCI, says the co-pilot attacked the pilot. Arutz Sheva cites an initial investigation. It says the Emirati pilot hit the co-pilot with the cockpit's emergency axe to stop him.

How many were aboard. Over 100 Israelis (The Jerusalem Post). 150 Israelis (Arutz Sheva). 180 people (a passenger quoted in a Haaretz headline).

Not settled - The motive. Only Katz calls it terror, citing preliminary information. - Who held the blade, and who was defending himself. - Whether anyone was hurt. flydubai says all crew are safe. Saudi authorities, via Shargh, say the pilot and co-pilot went to hospital.

What this is about. Two pilots fought on a passenger jet flying from the United Arab Emirates to Israel. The dispute is over whether it was a terror attack.

How it got here. Israel and the UAE had no diplomatic relations until the Abraham Accords, signed in Washington in September 2020. Direct flights followed. A Jerusalem Post photo caption says flydubai's first scheduled flight landed at Ben Gurion airport on 26 November 2020. Saudi Arabia has never recognised Israel. In 2022 it opened its airspace to flights to and from Israel, which is why a Dubai–Tel Aviv jet crosses Saudi territory. The flight came three years into the war that began with the Hamas-led attack on Israel of 7 October 2023 and Israel's offensive in Gaza that followed.

The actors. - flydubai is a budget airline owned by the Dubai government. It flies to Israel under an agreement with Israel. - Benjamin Netanyahu is Israel's prime minister. Israel Katz is its defence minister. Miri Regev is its transport minister and regulates foreign airlines that fly into Israel. - Saudi Arabia controls the airport where the plane landed. By Netanyahu's account, it is holding and questioning the pilot. - The UAE has been Israel's closest Gulf partner since 2020.

What is at stake. If the Israeli government's terror account holds, Gulf airlines flying to Israel face new security rules. The Jerusalem Post says flydubai's agreement requires its pilots to come from countries that have ties with Israel. It cites sources who say the pilot has an Omani background. Oman has no relations with Israel. If flydubai's 'altercation' account holds, the case is about crew safety, for investigators in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Where it stands. flydubai says an official investigation is under way. Regev has moved against the airline's Israel flights. The Jerusalem Post says she ordered them halted; Shargh says she called for them to be suspended.

What is being argued about

  • Terror attack, hijacking, suicide attempt or altercation
  • Which pilot stabbed which
  • Whether flydubai may keep flying to Israel
  • Saudi Arabia's role in the landing and the passengers' return

The bias in this coverageBias

Which pilot attacked which is not settled

Some reports say the pilot stabbed his co-pilot. Others say the co-pilot was the attacker and was struck with a cockpit axe. Each version is stated as fact in the report that carries it.

Terror attack or altercation, and how many aboard

Every report using the 'jihadist terror' label credits it to the defence minister. The airline and one other report call it an altercation. Reports give three passenger figures: over 100, 150 and 180.

3 reports carrying the 'jihadist terror' label, all from the minister 2 reports calling it an altercation 3 different passenger figures given
Scored without the mastheads. Where the two passes differ, both are kept.

Claims and verdicts

disputed The crew member who tried to bring the plane down was the one who stabbed the other pilot.
The Jerusalem Post, Ynet and LBCI (quoting Netanyahu) say one pilot stabbed the other and then tried to crash the aircraft. Arutz Sheva, citing an initial investigation, says the reverse: the Emirati pilot stabbed the co-pilot with the cockpit's emergency axe while stopping him.

The Jerusalem Post describes Arab media coverage as split between cautious and sensational.
The incident involving flydubai flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv received widespread coverage in Arab media shortly after it occurred, but the tone and details of the reports varied significantly between outlets in the United Arab Emirates and the wider Gulf region and those operating elsewhere in the Arab world.While media outlets associated with Dubai and Abu Dhabi initially used cautious wording and repeated the airline's official statement, other Arab outlets quickly reported a serious altercation between the pilots and allegations that one of them attempted to take control of the airc

The Jerusalem Post asks whether Israelis should fly Israeli airlines. A pilots' union chairman says foreign flights are not all unsafe.
The unusual incident on the Flydubai flight, which carried approximately 180 passengers including more than 100 Israelis, has reignited a question concerning many Israelis: What safety implications come with choosing to fly with a foreign carrier.The unusual event quickly sparked a wave of concern among Israelis on social media. Alongside questions about what exactly occurred in the cockpit, many began to wonder whether choosing to fly with a foreign airline - especially on routes where Israeli carriers do not operate - involves a different level of risk.'An insane price hike at El Al from now

Israeli sources later corroborated to the Post that the suspected hijacker is believe

Reverses the roles. Citing an initial investigation, it says the Emirati pilot struck the co-pilot with the cockpit's emergency axe.
The belief is growing that the co-pilot planned to crash the plane in order to kill the 150 Israeli passengers on board. An initial investigation into the incident suggests that the Emirati pilot, who acted to prevent him from carrying out the plan with the help of some of the Israeli passengers, used an emergency axe that was in the cockpit during the takeover. It is believed that during the struggle, the pilot stabbed the co-pilot with the axe, which is designed to break the cockpit window in emergencies. The exact circumstances of the incident are still under investigation.
Stated versus attributed: the co-pilot is named as the attacker; intent is given as a 'growing belief' with no one holding it; the figure is 150 passengers — “The belief is growing that the co-pilot planned to crash the plane in order to kill the 150 Israeli passengers on board.”
Assertion with no source named: the mass-killing motive is given as a growing belief, but no one is named as holding it — “The belief is growing that the co-pilot planned to crash the plane in order to kill the 150 Israeli passengers on board.”
