The center explained in a statement that it is coordinating with the relevant authorities regarding the investigation into the incident, while working to collect relevant information and evidence to determine the circumstances of the incident and determine its details.

Tabuk Airport had announced that it had received a distress call from the flight at 8:44 am, so emergency procedures were immediately initiated and the alert level was raised in preparation for receiving the plane.

The Emirati plane landed safely at Tabuk Airport in northwestern Saudi Arabia, and according to circulating media reports, the state of emergency came as a result of a quarrel between the pilots, while the circumstances of the incident have not yet been officially clarified.

While the role of the Saudi authorities and Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz International Airport emerged in immediately dealing with the situation. From the moment the distress call was received, the airport entered a state of alert to deal with the plane, declaring a state of emergency and preparing the necessary response to receive it.

The concerned authorities dealt with the injuries of its drivers and provided care to the passengers. The airport also coordinated with the air carrier to secure an alternative plane, on which all passengers departed to their destination.
