Reports have raised questions about Flydubai’s hiring of a co-pilot described as a hijacking suspect. The Jerusalem Post reported that the airline hired him without a proper background check, while Fox News, according to a Facebook post, said Oman Air had grounded him in 2024 after finding that he visited radical Islamic websites and that Flydubai did not consult his former employer before hiring him.
The Economic Times reported that sources called attempts to link the co-pilot to Oman’s establishment “uncalled for.” Separate coverage by Ynetnews and The Times of Israel focused on Oman’s ties with Iran and its limited relationship with Israel following the reported Flydubai attack.
