️🇲🇦🇦🇪 AP: Royal Air Morocco says that Hammam Al Hamami, the Flydubai co-pilot who was accused of trying to destroy the flight to Israel, was never employed by the Moroccan airline as a pilot.

According to the airline, Al Hammi underwent three months of theoretical training in 2025 as part of its recruitment process, but his application was ultimately rejected. The now-deleted LinkedIn profile claimed to have worked for Royal Air Maroc for six months.

The disclosure follows reports that al-Hami had previously been removed from flying duties at Oman Air after "extremist material" was discovered.
