A Flydubai aircraft flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv has remained at Saudi Arabia’s Tabuk Airport for a fourth day after making an emergency landing on September 30 following an onboard personnel incident. Passengers continued to Tel Aviv on another plane, while the aircraft’s return will depend on the investigation. The UAE prosecutor general is investigating the incident as a terrorist attack.
The co-pilot accused of attacking Capt. Smit Machchhar on a Tel Aviv-bound FlyDubai flight has been identified as 29-year-old Omani national Hamam al-Hammami.

A source says Oman Air had barred him over concerns about extremist views. Investigators are examining whether he acted alone or had extremist links.
The UAE says FlyDubai co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami, an Omani national, attacked the captain with an axe on a flight bound for Tel Aviv in what it called a “terrorist” act.
