According to him, Hamami was inspired by the 9/11 attacks. He plotted to target the Tel Aviv airport. For this he also did Reiki in two flights.

Hamad Saif Al Shamsi said on Friday (Oct 9) that the Omani co-pilot of flydubai flight FZ1073, Hamam Al-Hamami, planned to crash the plane at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport on 30 September. Hamam al-Hamami also attacked Indian pilot Smit Machar. However. A major disaster was averted due to the bravery of the crew members and passengers.

Tel Aviv International Airport was the destination

According to foreign media, the accused has been identified as 29-year-old Hamam al-Hamami. According to investigators, the accused had allegedly made prior preparations to hijack the Flydubai aircraft and use it in a suicide attack. Its target was the passenger terminal of Tel Aviv International Airport.

Inspired by the attack on the twin towers of the World Trade Center

According to Mam al-Hamami’s confession shared by investigators, Hamam al-Hamami, a citizen of Oman, was inspired by the September 11, 2001 attack on the twin towers of the US World Trade Center, which killed hundreds of people. He said that the idea of ​​repeating such operations using aircraft had crossed his mind and for this purpose he decided to pursue a career in aviation.

Think radical while studying

Investigations revealed that the co-pilot had started developing extremist views while studying in Australia in 2017. The investigation found that he had used two previous flights to Tel Aviv to study the route and airport before attempting to crash the flydubai plane on September 30.

The investigation revealed that the influence of fundamentalism in the thoughts of accused Hamam Al-Hamami began to grow when he was studying in Australia in 2017. He used two previous flights to Tel Aviv to gather route and airport information before attempting to crash the FlyDubai plane on September 30.

Attacked with an ax in the cockpit

According to investigators, on September 30, the day of the alleged attack, accused Hamam al-Hamami attacked pilot Smit Machar inside the cockpit with an emergency ax. A captain, crew members and several passengers on board the return flight intervened to save Smit Machar and restrained Hamami. After this, control of the aircraft was restored and the flight was safely diverted to Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia. A forensic medical report revealed that pilot Smit Machar had recently suffered an injury to his head, which is a vital organ and could prove fatal.

Investigators said the accused, Hamam al-Hamami, said in a statement in the presence of his lawyer that he committed the crime alone. UAE prosecutors are further investigating the attack. Evidence, recordings and technical reports are being examined to determine whether any collusion or wider relationships were involved.

Worked for many airlines

The investigation revealed Hamam al-Hamami’s professional career at several airlines. He worked in many airlines. He worked for Oman Air from 2020 to 2024, joined Royal Air Maroc in early 2025 and stayed there for a few months before moving to flydubai in January 2026.

While studying in Melbourne, officials also investigated the activities of Hamam al-Hamami. The suspect told investigators that he regularly visited a mosque attached to the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), where he met people associated with a center called My Centre. The center was run by a Lebanese man named Abu Hamza and supported by an organization affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood. These claims are currently part of an investigation and are yet to be independently verified.

Viewing material promoting terrorism

According to investigators, the accused, Hamam al-Hamami, watched terrorist material and also received boxing training from a personal trainer in preparation for the alleged attack.

The investigators also reviewed the procedures followed by flydubai during their recruitment. The investigation found that he had met all of the airline’s professional and safety requirements, including holding a pilot’s license, presenting a certificate of good conduct and completing the required tests. However, these procedures did not reveal any signs of extremist views or intent to attack.

Passengers said they ran to the cockpit and struggled to regain control after the plane suddenly dropped about 17,000 feet. Hamami attacked pilot Smit Machar, seriously injuring him, but survived when passengers intervened and opened the cockpit door. The public prosecution has also recorded the statements of the injured Smit Machar, the pilot of the return flight, his co-pilot and crew members.

Al Shamsi said the investigation is still ongoing as authorities are verifying the suspect’s claim that he acted independently, and investigating possible associates or other ties. At the same time, recordings and technical reports are also being reviewed.
