A FlyDubai flight incident reported by multiple outlets includes an attack in which a co-pilot allegedly stabs the captain, followed by attempts to damage or take control of the aircraft. Media reports say investigators are treating the event as serious and are examining the circumstances and timeline of what occurred.
Context on the suspect’s identity is still developing. One outlet reports the co-pilot’s name as Hamam Al Hammami, described as an Omani national. Another outlet says the co-pilot has not been publicly identified in official statements, but that several sources familiar with the investigation told the outlet that the name is Hamam al Hamami. The two reports align on the same name, while differing on how “confirmed” the identification is versus what sources within the investigation are saying.
