The real identity of the Omani terrorist pilot linked to the FlyDubai hijacking attempt has been revealed.
His name is Mohammed Hamam Al-Hammami. He was fired by Oman Air in 2024–2025 for regularly browsing extremist websites and expressing support for the Islamic State, jihad, and anti-non-Muslim sentiments during conversations with colleagues. He was hired by FlyDubai without a background check. His mother is of Syrian origin.
He visited Pakistan in August 2026 and Turkey in May 2026.
His diary reportedly contains praise for several terrorists, including Osama bin Laden, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and Maulana Masood Azhar.
It is a truly shocking incident that FlyDubai hired a terrorist as one of its pilots.
Incidents like these make passengers feel extremely unsafe, and one should not be surprised if, in the future, people start asking about a pilot's religion before flying.
