AG Provides Update on Fly Dubai FZ1073 Probe
The investigation reveals that the 29-year-old Omani flight assistant, who worked for various airlines before joining Fly Dubai, had adopted extremist beliefs since 2017 while studying in Australia. He was influenced by radical ideas and incitements to terrorism. His plans aimed to seize control of the aircraft and carry out a suicide attack against the airport building in Tel Aviv, intending to cause significant human casualties. He attempted to execute this plan during a flight on September 30, 2026. The investigation showed that the suspect exploited his training and previous participation in preparations to survey the airport. He assaulted the pilot with an emergency axe before being subdued and safely landing the plane at Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia. The investigations are ongoing to determine whether he had any partners or other connections, with prior evidence indicating his association with violent and terrorist inciting ideologies.
