Omani Flight Assistant Identified
Investigations have revealed that Hamam Alhamami, a co-pilot at Fly Dubai, attempted to take control of the plane using an axe during a flight from Dubai to Israel. The UAE has classified the incident as an act of terrorism. Sources indicated that Alhamami, born in the UAE to a Omani father and a Syrian mother, was a radicalized individual who had previously been prohibited from flying in Oman due to his followers of extreme Islamic websites. However, he was later employed by Fly Dubai and appeared to behave normally prior to the incident. The investigations suggest that his intentions were to carry out an attack over Israel, and he was in contact with authorities, expressing a desire to bring down the aircraft. He held a valid pilot’s license and passed routine security checks without issues, despite indications of radicalization, especially after a period of ideological reinforcement according to reports. He was also in Syria during 2024. Posts on his X account contained content expressing radical views, including images of Al-Qaeda leaders, which raise security concerns about potential threats. He is currently being questioned by UAE authorities as part of the investigation.
