The co-pilot, an Omani national identified in reporting as Hamam al-Hammami, remains in UAE custody after Saudi authorities transferred him there shortly after the September 30 cockpit incident on the Dubai-Tel Aviv flight. UAE authorities lead the investigation into the alleged attempt to seize controls, with Israeli officials participating as observers or questioners under bilateral security cooperation rather than through custody transfer. No extradition treaty applies between Israel and the UAE or Oman, and Saudi Arabia previously limited Israeli involvement on its soil. With only weeks remaining until the October 31 deadline and the probe focused on motives and background in Abu Dhabi, traders price transfer as highly improbable. A rapid diplomatic agreement or shift in UAE policy could still alter the outcome before resolution.
