There’s no need to steal the plane to deliver weapons. A better question is who on the plane was worth kidnapping, if anyone.

I disagree. Access to an entire long range, jumbo airliner with all of its capacity makes it possible to deliver even the most clumsy, outsized bomb that can be loaded inside it - and enables you to deliver it right to the heart of an enemy's territory. I can't imagine a hijacking this elaborate wasted on anything less than a spectacular strike at the Infidels.

Imagine if this plane is in Middle East and it were to be outfitted with a nuke destined for Israel. Israel would have two horrible choices.

1. Shoot the nuclear equipped plane down over an Arab country, or

2. Be nuked themselves.

Of course they will not choose 2., then they would be vilified by the left, including the media, for killing thousands of muslims to save themselves.

Can’t the plane then be tracked to its next destination?
