FlyDubai attack exposes vetting failures

The attempted attack aboard FlyDubai Flight 1073 has exposed apparent failures in aviation security and intelligence-sharing across Oman, the UAE and Israel. Co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami had previously been barred from flying by Oman Air after authorities became concerned about his interest in extremist ideology, yet those concerns were not widely shared. FlyDubai later hired him without contacting Oman to verify his record and assigned him repeatedly to Tel Aviv, despite restrictions affecting Omani nationals. Captain Smit Machchhar said Hammami attacked him with an emergency axe before passengers helped subdue him and recover the aircraft from a dive. Aviation security specialist Matthew Borie said there were “multiple levels of failure” before airport screening even became relevant. Investigations are examining hiring, vetting and information-sharing procedures.

The party claims the housing measures could reduce new-home prices by as much as £50,000, while other changes would lower business costs. Badenoch compared the approach with Margaret Thatcher’s reforms, arguing that government should be “strong where only the state can be” but restrained elsewhere. Shadow chancellor Andrew Griffith is expected to describe the agenda as “the most ambitious deregulation project in a generation,” with environmental agency functions transferred into Whitehall.
