The co-pilot of Flydubai who stabbed the captain during flight 1073 had previously been banned from flying by authorities in Oman, sources familiar with the matter revealed on Friday. The ban was reportedly imposed due to concerns that the co-pilot had adopted extremist ideological views. Despite the Omani ban, the co-pilot, an Omani citizen, was hired by Flydubai, according to the sources. Consequently, he was permitted to serve as a pilot on the sensitive route connecting the United Arab Emirates and Israel.
