Flydubai hijack attempt probe widens; co-pilot's NZ training under scrutiny

New Zealand authorities are investigating the flight training of Hamam al-Hammami, the flydubai co-pilot who allegedly attempted to hijack an Israel-bound flight on 30 September. The incident, foiled by passengers and crew, marks a rare aviation security breach and raises questions about vetting procedures for flight crew. The investigation's scope now includes his prior time in Australia and New Zealand, though the motive remains unclear.
