A flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv has landed in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia after signalling an emergency.

Flight FZ1073 diverted in Jordanian airspace towards Saudi Arabia, transmitting a general emergency signal.

It then transmitted another emergency signal that indicated possible unlawful interference several minutes later, according to flight tracking website Flightradar24.

The Boeing 737 plane then again transmitted the general emergency signal before landing at Tabuk airport, a civilian and military base in north-western Saudi Arabia, the website said.

The incident is not believed to have been a hijacking, according to the Israeli prime minister's office.
