A recent incident that has brought attention to the airport's security has occurred. Yaniv Hayoun, a former family friend from Israel, was traveling with his six-year-old daughter when, during the flight, he noticed an unusual noise coming from the pilot's cabin. He immediately called the health inspector but did not receive a response. After this, Hayoun informed the pilot that something was happening in the cockpit. When these two were not rejected, he said: 'Something is happening here!'

Subsequently, the pilot opened the pilot's door and found his colleague armed with an object with a sharp edge. This situation caused total confusion among the passengers, who tried to protect the lives of children and the elderly. However, a group of people decided to intervene and overpowered the pilot, freeing him from a violent blow.

The two pilots who were shot down, one foreigner and one Indian, then flew the plane until it landed in Saudi Arabia. The plane 1073 became a reference point for discussions on airport safety, especially after the death of the pilot, Smit Machchhar, who was originally from India. The issue has focused on the responsibility of airport security authorities and possible reasons for violence.

Some experts have hypothesized that the main reason was to eliminate their exile and show their clear passion for radical Islam. The Israeli authorities declared that the most probable cause of the conflict was a personal decision by the pilot, but no concrete evidence has been provided.

The flight 1073 had significant consequences not only for airport safety but also for FlyDubai's reputation and the pilot, Smit Machchhar, who was part of the company. This led to the need for a review of airport safety and pushed pilots to be more vigilant during their flights. This highlighted the need for an open discussion on aviation safety and greater responsibility from airport security authorities.
