Information is being examined about the years the Flydubai hijacker spent in Australia and his possible ties to the country, according to a report.

According to sources familiar with the case, the man is a pilot and an Omani citizen. He was in Australia on a student visa issued in 2014 and studied in the country from 2015 to 2017, when he left.

According to the report, attention to the hijacker's Australian period is linked to an attempt to establish how he was connected to the country.

It was previously reported that the Flydubai relief flight for the hijacked plane operating flight FZ1073 landed in Israel on 30 September 2026.
