EMS units were dispatched to Ben-Gurion International Airport on Tuesday afternoon 21 Cheshvan as Royal Jordanian flight was coming in, requesting to make an emergency landing because the plane was low on fuel and encountered difficult weather conditions.
The flight with 66 passengers and crew was heading to Amman from Dubai and the pilots realized they were too low on fuel, asking permission to touch down in Tel Aviv.
An emergency response was ordered in line with protocol. After tension-filled minutes, B”H the plane touched down without incident in Ben-Gurion. According to Airport Authority officials, the plane will be fueled and permitted to take off for Amman at the first possible opportunity.

Very nice but Here’s my question. Would Jordan do the same for us??
Now why would these lovely Arabs want to land in such an evil racist apartheid Country like Israel, even if it was an emergency??? Hmmm
Royal Jordanian has 2 daily flights to and from Tel Aviv. Not a chiddush they landed there.
Makes no sense, tel aviv is further from Dubai than Amman
Maybe they couldn’t land in Amman
4,
There was weather issues in Amman and with low fuel, the sensible option was to land in tlv for refueling.
Makes PERFECT sense to the rest of us.
