A Flydubai co-pilot accused of attempting a murder-suicide on an Israel-bound flight trained as a pilot in Britain at L3 Airline Academy, now part of Acron Aviation. The Telegraph reports that Hamam al-Hammami received training at one or more centers in England and had previously studied engineering at RMIT University in Melbourne from 2015 to 2017 but did not complete his degree. Authorities are investigating his background, including time spent in New Zealand for flight training with a UK-based company. On September 30, al-Hammami allegedly attacked the captain of a Dubai-to-Tel Aviv flight with an axe, causing the plane to plummet before passengers and reserve crew subdued him and landed safely in Saudi Arabia.

Story summary
On September 30, 2026, a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv signaled an emergency over Jordanian airspace and diverted to Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia after reporting a cockpit fight between pilots rather than a hijacking. The plane carried around 150 passengers, mostly Israeli citizens. The incident prompted the Israeli Air Force to scramble warplanes as a precaution, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held consultations with security officials regarding the flight's diversion. While initial reports suggested potential unlawful interference, it was later clarified that the situation involved a physical altercation between the pilots without any threat to passenger safety.
