Baku, Azerbaijan: A scheduled FlyDubai Boeing 737 flight operating from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to Kazan, Russia made a forced diversion and emergency landing at Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku, Azerbaijan, early on Tuesday, aviation officials confirmed. The aircraft, operating as FlyDubai Flight FZ973, departed Dubai International Airport late on Monday and was en route to Kazan when the captain reported a technical issue and requested an immediate diversion to Baku at approximately 00:04 local time (midnight). The Boeing 737 touched down safely under normal operating procedures, according to airport press statements. Airport emergency and ground handling services were deployed promptly, and all protocols were carried out in full compliance with international aviation safety standards, the press office said. At this stage, there have been no reports of injuries to passengers or crew. According to flight tracking data, the scheduled arrival time in Kazan was around 01:11 local time, but the flight status is now listed as diverted. FlyDubai has not yet released a detailed statement on the exact nature of the technical fault, and no further information has been published by the airline as of this report. Standard aviation procedure following a diversion for technical reasons is to conduct thorough inspections on the aircraft before it is cleared to continue its journey. Heydar Aliyev International Airport remains fully operational and continues to support international flights, including emergency and diversionary landings, by ensuring readiness of safety and ground services.

Malé, Maldives: A Boeing 737 MAX 8 belonging to flydubai was damaged on 4 December 2025 after a ground‑services fuel truck struck the aircraft while it was parked at Velana International Airport (MLE), the airline confirmed. The aircraft registration A6‑FMM, operating flight FZ1025 from Dubai (DXB) had just arrived in Malé when the collision occurred on the apron during routine ground handling at approximately 08:50 local time. Reports indicate that the lower left‑hand winglet sustained damage. flydubai swiftly confirmed that all passengers and crew disembarked safely, with no injuries, fuel spillage or fire risk reported. The airline said affected travellers have been re‑accommodated on the next available flights while the damaged aircraft undergoes inspection and repair. The next scheduled leg, a flight from Malé to Colombo, was cancelled as a result of the incident. Authorities at the Maldives airport are expected to launch a formal investigation into the incident, focusing on apron safety protocols, ground‑handling procedures and vehicle movement controls around parked aircraft. flydubai reiterated that the “safety of our passengers and crew remains our highest priority at all times.” The aircraft will remain grounded until repairs are completed and regulatory standards for airworthiness are satisfied. On 28 November 2025 a Emirates Airbus A380‑842 at Manchester Airport (UK) was struck by a fuel‑truck while parked at a gate, during routine turnaround after arrival from Dubai. The collision damaged the cowling of the engine intake though there was no fuel leak, fire or injuries and forced cancellation of the return flight EK18 to Dubai. The aircraft remained grounded for inspections and repairs, and took off again on 30 November for flight EK20 to Dubai, signalling the damage was deemed repairable.
