Pan Am Penerbangan 73 ialah penerbangan Pan American World Airways dari Bombay, India, ke New York, dengan perhentian dijadualkan di Karachi, Pakistan dan Frankfurt, Jerman Barat.
Pada 5 September 1986, Boeing 747-121 berkhidmat dengan pesawat itu dirampas sementara di lapangan di Karachi oleh empat orang lelaki bersenjata Palestin dari Pertubuhan Abu Nidal. Pesawat itu, dengan 360 orang penumpang, baru tiba dari Bombay.[2] Seorang juri besar kemudian menyimpulkan bahawa militan merancang untuk menggunakan pesawat yang dirampas untuk mengambil tahanan Palestin di Cyprus dan Israel.[3]
Empat puluh tiga penumpang cedera atau terbunuh semasa rampasan, termasuk warga dari India, Amerika Syarikat, Pakistan, dan Mexico. Semua pembajak telah ditangkap dan dihukum mati di Pakistan. Walau bagaimanapun, hukuman itu kemudian diubah kepada kehidupan di dalam penjara. Ketua pramugari, Neerja Bhanot, menerima anugerah pahala tertinggi India untuk keberanian, Anugerah Ashok Chakra atas usahanya untuk menyelamatkan nyawa penumpang semasa rampasan itu.[4]
