Three passengers required medical attention upon returning to Israel after their Flydubai flight made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia due to an unusual incident in the cockpit. The flight, originating from Dubai and bound for Ben Gurion Airport, was diverted to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.
Upon landing at Ben Gurion Airport on a replacement aircraft, Magen David Adom (MDA) and airport clinic teams were on standby. They provided initial medical treatment to three passengers. Among them was a 51-year-old man who sustained a minor upper body injury and was transported to the hospital in light condition.
MDA began preparations for the passengers' return as soon as they received initial reports of the incident. Throughout the day, MDA coordinated with the Airport Authority, Ben Gurion Airport management, and security forces. Medical teams were deployed to the airport, positioned both near the aircraft and in the passenger reception area to ensure immediate medical assessment and care.
The airline stated that the aircraft landed safely and all passengers were secure. The two flight crew members who were injured during the incident in Saudi Arabia received medical treatment there. MDA Director General Eli Bin emphasized the organization's readiness to provide swift medical assistance to anyone needing examination, treatment, or hospitalization.
