A Saudi magazine report has revealed fresh details about FlyDubai co-pilot Hammam al Hammami, including his aviation career, movements between airlines and a period of his life reportedly spent in Syria. Security sources cited by the publication claim extremist material was found in his possession in 2024, after which he was removed from flight duties in Oman. Investigators are now examining his background, communications, digital activity and possible radicalisation as they piece together what led to the cockpit attack.
