- File photo: A flydubai aircraft at Ben Gurion International AirportA string of security failures across Oman, the UAE and Israel allowed the flydubai co-pilot to get into the cockpit, a Wall Street Journal investigation has found.
- The lapses nearly led to an aviation disaster reminiscent of 9/11, despite authorities having reasons to be concerned about him.
- The failures began in Oman, where authorities had scrutinised Hamam al-Hammami’s online activity and found he showed too much interest in radical ideology to be trusted as a pilot at state carrier Oman Air.
