Pilotul suspectat că a atacat un alt pilot la bordul unui zbor Flydubai fusese îndepărtat anul trecut dintr-un post similar la compania aeriană națională a Omanului

A pilot from Oman, Hamam al-Hammami, suspected of attacking a colleague on a Flydubai flight, had previously been removed from Oman Air due to extremist views. He worked for Flydubai for only eight months and had a controversial online presence. The incident raised concerns about background checks in aviation recruitment. Al-Hammami attempted to take control of the aircraft with an emergency axe, leading to an investigation by Israeli authorities. The UAE is also involved due to the aircraft's registration. Netanyahu confirmed Israel's participation in the interrogation of the suspect, who was redirected to Saudi Arabia after the incident.
