A couple from Sydney’s east were on board a Flydubai flight en route to Israel when an alleged attempted hijacking occurred. The passengers, identified as Steven and Carol Moss, were confirmed as part of a prominent Australian family. The incident took place on Wednesday, according to reports from multiple Australian media outlets.
The flight, which was heading to Israel, was reportedly involved in an attempted hijacking. No injuries were reported, and the situation was resolved without further escalation. The couple was among the passengers confirmed to be on board during the incident.
This is not the first time Flydubai has faced security concerns. In 2023, the airline was involved in a similar incident on a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, where a passenger attempted to seize control of the aircraft. That incident was also resolved without casualties. The Moss couple’s case highlights ongoing security challenges in international air travel, particularly on routes involving Middle Eastern destinations. Authorities have not yet released further details on the current incident, but investigations are ongoing.
