From the Wikipedia article
The hijacking of KLM Flight 366 was an aircraft hijacking carried out from 4 September 1976 by a Palestinian commando on a KLM flight that was scheduled to fly from Malaga in Spain via Nice to Schiphol. After a precarious intermediate landing in Tunis, the aircraft flew on to Larnaca in Cyprus, where the hijacking was ended peacefully.
