WorldFlydubai Co-Pilot Planned to Crash Plane into Israeli Airport
The Flydubai co-pilot, Hamam al-Hammami, allegedly planned to crash the aircraft into Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. He intended to kill Captain Smit Machchhar inside the locked cockpit and then take control of the plane. Al-Hammami chose Flydubai because it operated flights to Israel and had prepared the plot before joining the airline, using prior trips to gather information.
