Hamam al-Hammami, a 29-year-old Omani national studying aviation management at Buckinghamshire New University remotely, allegedly made extreme social media posts expressing violence against women, Jews, and gay individuals prior to his alleged hijacking attempt of an Israel-bound flydubai flight from Pakistan. Analysis of over 2,000 posts between November 2021 and August 2022 suggests al-Hammami promoted hate through statements like "stomp on her head" regarding women and expressed support for violence against perceived enemies. On the day of the incident, al-Hammami allegedly attacked the flight’s captain with a crash axe and attempted to take control of the plane before passengers intervened, nearly causing a crash with 182 people onboard.

Story summary
Hamam Al Hammami, 29, an Omani national and former trainee pilot with Oman Air, attempted to hijack a Flydubai flight bound for Tel Aviv. During his time at Buckinghamshire New University (BNU) in the UK, where he earned a three-year distance-learning degree in aviation management before graduating in 2023, Al Hammami posted disturbing content on social media advocating violence against women and praising Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In one instance, he stated, "I'd stomp on your head, wipe the floor with you, make you an example to others, and then divorce you," referencing a hypothetical scenario where a man slaps a woman preemptively to redefine her boundaries, likening it to Russia's actions in Ukraine. This incident severely injured the captain using the plane’s crash axe before passengers intervened, regaining control of the aircraft which had dropped 14,000 feet within 29 seconds.
