Quick Summary

Hamam al-Hammami, a 29-year-old Omani national studying aviation management at Buckinghamshire New University remotely, allegedly made extreme social media posts expressing violence against women, Jews, and gay individuals prior to his alleged hijacking attempt of an Israel-bound flydubai flight from Pakistan. Analysis of over 2,000 posts between November 2021 and August 2022 suggests al-Hammami promoted hate through statements like "stomp on her head" regarding women and expressed support for violence against perceived enemies. On the day of the incident, al-Hammami allegedly attacked the flight’s captain with a crash axe and attempted to take control of the plane before passengers intervened, nearly causing a crash with 182 people onboard.

Story summary

On September 30, 2026, a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv signaled an emergency and was diverted to land at Tabuk airport in Saudi Arabia. The incident initially raised concerns about a possible hijacking, prompting Israel to scramble warplanes. However, Israeli officials later reported that the emergency signals were due to a physical altercation between the plane's two pilots rather than a hijacking attempt.

The flight, identified as Flydubai Flight FZ1073, transmitted multiple emergency alerts after takeoff and over Jordanian airspace before landing safely in Saudi Arabia. Passengers on board managed to overpower the attacker, who was later identified by UAE officials as Omani co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami. Al-Hammami allegedly attempted to crash the plane into Tel Aviv's airport but was stopped by passengers.

UAE Attorney-General Hamad Saif al-Shamsi stated that signs of al-Hammami’s radicalization first emerged in 2017 while he was studying engineering at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. He reportedly became influenced by extremist literature and online content glorifying terrorist organizations during this period.
