Hamam Al-Hammami, a 29-year-old Omani national, has been identified as the co-pilot who attacked the captain and attempted to hijack a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv on September 30. Al-Hammami, who worked for Flydubai for about eight months, had previously been grounded by Oman Air in 2024 due to extremist materials found on him. He is cooperating with investigators and claimed he intended to crash the plane in Israel. The incident has been recognized as a terrorist act by the UAE's Attorney General.
