多家媒体已将该副机长确认为阿曼籍公民哈马姆·阿尔-哈马米,但其身份尚未得到官方证实。《华尔街日报》报道称,他此前因激进意识形态观点引发担忧,曾被禁止在阿曼驾驶飞机。

周三,载有174名乘客的迪拜航空FZ1073航班在从迪拜起飞后险些酿成灾难。在袭击机长期间,飞机发出紧急信号,并从34000英尺高度急速下降超过17000英尺,在几分钟内坠落数千英尺。尽管身负重伤,机长马奇哈尔仍设法解开了驾驶舱门,并向乘客和机组人员发出求救信号。乘客和机组人员迅速冲入驾驶舱,协助重新掌控了飞机。
On Wednesday, flydubai flight FZ1073, carrying 174 passengers, narrowly avoided disaster on its journey from Dubai. During the attack on the captain, the aircraft transmitted emergency signals and made a rapid descent of more than 17,000 feet from 34,000 feet, plummeting thousands of feet within minutes. Despite being wounded, Captain Machchhar managed to unlock the cockpit door and signal distress to passengers and crew, who rushed into the cockpit and helped regain control of the aircraft.
领导调查的阿联酋周六表示,其调查显示副驾驶试图实施“恐怖袭击”。飞机紧急降落所在国沙特阿拉伯的内政部也在进行调查。
The UAE, which is leading the investigation, said on Saturday that its probe had revealed that the co-pilot attempted to carry out a "terrorist act". The Interior Ministry of Saudi Arabia, where the plane made an emergency landing, is also conducting an investigation.
澳大利亚联邦警察表示,在得知哈马米曾作为学生在澳停留约两年后,正在调查其与澳大利亚的关联。知情人士向澳媒透露,他于2014年获得学生签证,2015年至2017年间在澳学习后离境。澳广公司(ABC)报道称,他的签证于2019年被取消,并非基于品行原因,而是因为他不再注册课程,因此不再符合学生签证资格。
The Australian Federal Police said it was investigating al-Hammami's links to Australia after it emerged that he had spent about two years in the country as a student. Sources familiar with the case told Australian media that he was issued a student visa in 2014 and studied in Australia between 2015 and 2017 before leaving. ABC reported that his visa was cancelled in 2019, not on character grounds, but because he was no longer enrolled in a course and was therefore no longer eligible for a student visa.
目前,阿联酋、以色列、沙特阿拉伯和澳大利亚的调查人员正在调查此案,而国际媒体报道的初步调查结果显示,副驾驶在迫使航班紧急下降的袭击中是单独作案。
So far, investigators in the UAE, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Australia are examining the case, while early findings reported by international media indicate that the co-pilot acted alone in the attack that forced the flight into an emergency descent.
