Here is what the page “Flydubai Hijack Attempt: New Zealand Investigates Co-Pilot Hamam al-Hammami’s Flight Train” contains. New Zealand authorities have opened an investigation into Hamam al-Hammami, the 29-year-old flydubai co-pilot accused of attempting to hijack a Tel Aviv-bound flight on 30 September. Police confirmed al-Hammami spent 175 days in New Zealand until May 2019, where he underwent flight training about a year after leaving a degree program in Australia. The incident, involving 182 people onboard, was thwarted by passengers and crew. An Australian Jewish group has called for a full investigation into his time in Melbourne.
The probe highlights gaps in international aviation security screening and the need to trace how radicalization may intersect with professional pilot training. The outcome could reshape global vetting protocols for foreign flight students. Nova Global News curates publicly available headlines and summaries with source attribution.
